As we have stated many times, on the election day our observers detected violations of the secrecy of voting, voting instead of someone else/voting repeatedly, not checking the markings and voting without marking, physical and verbal attacks on the polling station, hundreds of facts of hindering and making the observation impossible (especially the observation of the verification process), presence of unauthorized aggressive persons in the area and agitation by the members of the commission.

On the day of parliamentary elections on October 26, observers of the observation coalition “My Vote” continuously monitored 1131 polling stations opened throughout the country.
