Campaign managers for presidential candidates Victor Yanukovych and Prime Minister Yuliya Tymoshenko are reporting a variety of alleged voting violations throughout Ukraine.
Tymoshenko’s camp says three polling stations were closed in Luhansk Oblast because of a bomb scare and have reported "carousel voting" in Transcarpathian Oblast. "Carousel voting" is when voters cast multiple ballots at different polling stations.
Yanukovych’s camp, meanwhile, have accused Tymoshenko supporters of telephoning voters in the country’s eastern and southern regions to urge them to vote for Tymoshenko. Vasyl Horbal, a deputy from Yanukovych’s Part of Regions, said at 11:00 a.m. that he not received information of any systemic voting violations in Ukraine’s capital Kyiv.
Many unconfirmed shenanigans have been reported via the social messaging service Twitter (searching using hashtag: #elect_ua).
The results of several exit polls will be announced when polling precincts close at 8:00 p.m. tonite.
