As expected, there is criticism from the opposition after the election for a new parliament in Russia. Observers criticize delays in counting votes.
When the votes for the parliamentary elections in Russia were counted, opponents of the Kremlin party and observers complained about irregularities in the capital Moscow.
Even more than twelve hours after the polls closed, there were no results of the online vote for the State Duma on Monday morning. “We are convinced that the votes of the electronic vote have not yet been published because they want to falsify the elections,” said the non-party candidate Mikhail Lobanov. The professor and his staff announced that they would fight for every vote.
The media in the capital were also surprised that ballot papers were counted faster by hand than online voting. The polling stations were closed on Sunday at 8 p.m. (7 p.m. CEST). The results of the online voting were released from other parts of the country a few hours after the polling stations closed.
Lobanov had let himself be set up by the communists and was also supported by the opposition around the imprisoned Kremlin opponent Alexei Navalny, which was not allowed to vote. Nawalny’s team criticized irregularities and delays in the counting. The opposition had called for a protest vote against the Kremlin party, United Russia.
According to initial results, direct candidates other than those of the Kremlin party were ahead in some constituencies in Moscow. Nawalny’s supporters feared that if the results of the online voting were published late, the applicants from the Kremlin party would ultimately be enforced. According to initial counts, the Kremlin United Russia won the election as expected.
