Region­al elec­tions are tak­ing place in Rus­sia, over­shad­owed by the poi­son attack on Krem­lin crit­ic Naval­ny and the Coro­na cri­sis. They are con­sid­ered an impor­tant test of mood for Pres­i­dent Putin. Observers now report numer­ous manip­u­la­tions dur­ing the three-day bal­lot. The alle­ga­tions are seri­ous. Accord­ing to observers, there have been irreg­u­lar­i­ties in the elec­tion of new gov­er­nors and region­al par­lia­ments in Rus­sia. More than 1000 reports of pos­si­ble vio­la­tions have already been received, said the co-chair­man of the inde­pen­dent elec­tion obser­va­tion group Golos, Grig­o­ry Melkon­janz, the radio sta­tion Echo Moskwy in Moscow. “This includes cas­es of delib­er­ate elec­tion fraud.” In the regions of the coun­try, mil­lions of peo­ple were called to vote. Elec­tion observers have report­ed obsta­cles to their work, said Melkon­jants. Vio­lence was also used. “There have been reports of forced vot­ing and bribery from many regions.” Some polling sta­tions were already open on Fri­day. Accord­ing to their own state­ments, the author­i­ties want­ed to reduce the risk of infec­tion with the coro­na virus. To pro­tect against the coro­na virus, vot­ers and elec­tion work­ers had to wear masks, and a fever was measured.

Crit­ics feared manip­u­la­tion because it would be dif­fi­cult to con­trol the elec­tion over three days. In addi­tion, some polling sta­tions were set up out­doors. The head of the Cen­tral Elec­tion Com­mis­sion, Ella Pam­filo­va, reject­ed crit­i­cism. “For some peo­ple it is more prac­ti­cal to sit down at a street stall, that’s their right.” Regard­ing the opposition’s alle­ga­tion that the mul­ti-day polling allowed the author­i­ties to orga­nize elec­tion fraud, Pam­filo­va said that these alle­ga­tions were not objec­tive and “mean”. The region­al elec­tion is con­sid­ered an impor­tant test of mood — also for next year’s par­lia­men­tary elec­tion. Because of the Coro­na cri­sis, unem­ploy­ment in the largest coun­try in the world has risen mas­sive­ly. Experts spoke of great dis­sat­is­fac­tion in the coun­try. The vote is also under the impres­sion of the poi­son­ing of the oppo­si­tion­ist Alex­ej Naval­ny, who has been treat­ed in Berlin for three weeks. His team had called on vot­ers to vote for any can­di­date except for the Krem­lin Unit­ed Rus­sia par­ty in order to break its pow­er. Mean­while, the first polling sta­tions closed in east­ern Rus­sia. The coun­try has eleven time zones. The elec­tion of new gov­er­nors in 18 regions was par­tic­u­lar­ly impor­tant for the Krem­lin in Moscow. New coun­cilors and may­ors were also elect­ed. In total there were more than 9,000 dif­fer­ent elec­tions at dif­fer­ent levels.
