Today YABLOKO’s leader Sergei Mitrokhin forwarded his statement
of claim to the Investigation Committee under Public Prosecutor’s
Office on the crime in connection with election fraud in 2007
parliamentary elections.
YABLOKO party has recently received 56 bulletins each labeled
by a special sign (a mark) and stamped by electoral commission
128 of Tagansky District, Moscow.
“Probably these bulletins were prepared for stuffing into
ballot boxes,” runs the statement.
It should be also noted that the indicated electoral district
demonstrated in 2007 an abnormally high voter turn out and
abnormally high percentage of votes cast for the progovernmental
United Russia party. At total turnout amounting allegedly
to 86%, 79% of votes were allegedly given for United Russia;
whereas Tagansly district demonstrated average turnout amounting
to 61% and percentage of votes cast for United Russia reached
60%. Obviously in addition to 56 bulletins that were not stuffed
into the ballot boxes other violations of the law were taking
place at electoral district 128.
Sergei Mitrokhin asks the Investigation Committee to file
a criminal law suit for violation of Article 142 of the Criminal
Code of the RF (falsification of electoral documents).
The official results of 2007 election in Tagansky district
maybe found at the Moscow Electoral Commission web-site.
