The Liberal Democrats have submitted several complaints on the issue.

At some polling stations, LDPR representatives drew the attention of the PEC to the correction pens, pencils and erasers present on the tables. Afterwards, the aforementioned stationary was removed.

Moreover, the representatives of the Liberal Democratic Party were dissatisfied with the fact that the number of early voters at the elections in district No. 27, according to their data, totaled at 7.5% of the total number of registered voters. According to the party activists, this fact, along with the expected turnout of 30%, meant that every fourth ballot could be considered pre-filled.

Beyond that, according to the Liberal Democrats, 140 people out of the registered 1400 have voted early at the polling station No. 155 located at the gymnasium No. 53, which is almost 10% of the total for the polling station.

However, as news agency PenzaNews reported earlier, the police received only four reports on violations during the election, one of which has been confirmed at the moment: a man was handing out Liberal Democratic Party newspapers on Moscovskaya street, even though any promotion is prohibited on the election day.

At the same time, the members of the regional branch of the All-Russian Public Movement “Corps ‘For clean elections’” did not find any serious violations during the City Duma elections.

Earlier, Georgy Kamnev, member of the Legislative Assembly of the Penza region, the first secretary of the regional committee of the Communist Party, said that the Communists have located no major violations that could somehow affect the course of the electoral process at the polling stations they have visited.
