Open More Polling Stations in Russia: Moldovan Citizens File Petition at Country's Embassy
Opening of additional polling stations in Russia: Moldovan citizens filed a petition with the Moldovan embassy.
Moldovan citizens have filed a petition with the Moldovan embassy demanding that Russia open more polling stations for voting in the elections. The document was sent by an initiative group and signed by more than two thousand people. The letter is addressed to the Chairman of the Central Electoral Commission of Moldova and the Ambassador of the Republic to Russia. Moldovan citizens also demanded that the elections and referendum of October 20 be recognized as illegal, in the context of the deliberate deprivation of a significant part of Moldovans of the right to vote. The Central Electoral Commission of Moldova had previously reduced the number of polling stations in Russia to two. The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, had previously reported that Chisinau had printed 10 thousand ballots for the elections of 500 thousand members of the Moldovan diaspora in Moscow.
