Bekeshkina: Some voters had to queue for half an hour to stand

Director of "Democratic Initiatives Ilko Kucheriv" ​​Irina Bekeshkina notes high turnout in Kiev, but the poor organization of the commission districts that could affect the election results.

According to an UNIAN correspondent, she said at a press conference dedicated to the National Exit Poll - 2014, saying that could affect the results of exit polls and elections in general.

In particular, it noted that in some polling stations observed a very strong heat, a lot of people on the premises, and in some queues voters had to stand in a half hour.

"The organization was very bad this did not exist at all" - the expert added.

Bekeshkina noted that one of the causes of poor organization of election commissions this year was to reduce the number of commissioners.

Read all stations in Kiev opened and is operating normally

"They are under a variety of reasons. One of them - what they half pay for these elections,"- she said.

According to experts, this whole situation could affect the outcome of the elections in general, because, she said, if older people seeking to survive the end of the queue and vote, the youth leaves the station and says, allegedly will return to vote.

"I do not think it really affected the presidential election, the less the difference in age, more regional. But in local elections in Kyiv may affect"- said the expert.

A whopping 82 degrees and half an hour standing in line?

Sounds to me like authorities are trying to set the stage in case the results don't turn out the way they want them to.

ONE UKRAINIAN POSTED:
“1. Separatists prevented voters in Donetsk and Lugansk from voting. The eastern regions were the absolutely most likely to vote for a pro-Russian candidate or at least force a runoff that could buy more time to discredit Western-leaning frontrunner Petro Poroshenko...
2. The only voters most likely to send a message that the regions need greater autonomy and do not want to join Europe.
3. They literally ‘shut up’ the only people that were likely to represent their interests and helped ENSURE that Poroshenko could coast to a first-round victory.
4. They also demonstrated to the residents of the regions they want to control showing their idea of democracy is not incompatible with threats of murder and the destruction of ballot boxes that would have given their constituents a voice.”

Well done, morons.

To be fair...'Porsh' is considered least of the bad to Ukrainians...what that means for Ukraine doesn't sound very encouraging...at this point if he can stop the war that would be a major accomplishment.

[caww]

Make no mistake...the destruction by Right Sector and Kiev army is why Donestk and the East is boycotting voting.....prior to the bombing of their cities they intended to vote, and were given the green light to do so.
