What is happening in Russia’s elections

✹ As of 2:00 p.m. Moscow time, the Central Election Commission reported turnout at 32.58%;

✹ On Sakhalin, a Communist Party observer was refused a spot on a mobile voting visit. The observer then set off in his own car, but the road was simply blocked by an SUV.

✹ Observers from Yabloko continue to be barred from polling stations. This happened, for example, in Perm at precinct election commission No. 3104 — a Communist Party observer was also denied entry along with the Yabloko representative.

✹ In St. Petersburg, a Yabloko observer was detained in a way that caused him to lose consciousness. A report was filed against him for “disobeying” police, while the commission chair accused him of an “attempt to disrupt the elections.”

✹ Electoral analyst Ivan Shukshin said turnout figures had been falsified, as indicated by anomalous data from territorial election commissions in several regions.
