Pamfilova instructed to dismiss the chairman of the Stavropol territorial election committee for stuffing ballots

The head of the Central Election Commission, Ella Pamfilova (pictured), ordered the immediate dismissal of the chairman of the territorial election commission in the Stavropol Territory. This happened after violations were revealed at the site in Pyatigorsk.

Pamfilova also instructed to transfer information about the incident to law enforcement agencies. In addition, at the site where the stuffing was revealed, all voting results for September 17 and 18 will be canceled. "We need to immediately, immediately make a decision - to dismiss the chairman, transfer cases to law enforcement agencies, and we will carefully monitor this", - Pamfilova told TASS.

CEC member Alexander Kurdyumov showed a video recording from PEC No. 1085 in Pyatigorsk. According to him, unidentified people closed the cell at the site with a mop and a rag. At this time, presumably, a stuffing took place. “Everything happens within 5-10 minutes, then the girls abruptly leave, the janitor opens the camera, and quickly leaves the room with a mop. We open the first chamber - there are, of course, safes as new, with new seals, apparently”, - said Kurdyumov.

Earlier, Pamfilova said that 7465 ballots were invalidated in 14 regions of the country. Eight cases of ballot stuffing in six regions were also confirmed.
