“This right was used by 21,704 residents of Donetsk region and 11,119 voters registered in Luhansk Oblast. As many as 190,283 Ukrainian citizens across the country have changed a polling place without changing their electoral address,” he said at a meeting with Head of the Canadian Election Observation Mission (CANEOM) for Early Parliamentary Elections in Ukraine Raynell Andreychuk and persons accompanying her in Kyiv on Oct. 21.
According to the commission’s press service, Okhendovsky also said that Ukrainian citizens residing in Crimea and Sevastopol would also be able to vote, as it was done during the presidential election campaign, when, under the simplified procedure, they could change the place of voting without changing their electoral address.
“This opportunity to temporarily change the place of voting was used by 2,864 residents of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and 774 people registered in Sevastopol,” Okhendovsky said.
The Canadian Election Observation Mission (CANEOM) is a non-governmental international organization dealing with international election observation and is a partner of the Canadian government, which authorized it to monitor early parliamentary elections in Ukraine on Oct. 26, 2014.
