“Turnout actually coincides with the figures for 2014 - plus or minus 0.5%. These are very good indicators, which indicate that citizens are very actively voting, ”he said.

As noted, there is currently no threat to disrupt the vote.

“There is a problem with agitation, there is a problem with the work of the commissions. I am glad that these are just a few facts when we can suspect the organization of a controlled vote, ”Koshel added.

At the same time, he said, the possible occurrence of problems with the counting of votes is predicted.

According to the Central Election Commission, by 5:00 pm, turnout at the presidential elections in Ukraine exceeds 45%.
