“Unfortunately, we have had about five incidents involving spoiling ballots<...>,” RIA Novosti quotes him.
According to Bulaev, incidents were recorded when voting boxes were poured with paint.
There is also a case of damage to the COIB - the scanner was also covered with paint.
The deputy chairman of the Central Electoral Commission called on members of election commissions to responsibly remain on duty near voting boxes and polling stations.
Earlier it was reported that at four polling stations opened as part of the Russian presidential elections, green stuff was spilled on ballot boxes.
