At the PEC #480605 (Novyi Shliakh village of Snihuriv rayon) voters are entering booth by two at once, what is a rough violation of the Article 71 of the Ukrainian Constitution, which states that the  elections are to be held by secret ballot

At the same time, the Party of Regions is actively delivering their voters to the polling station. It caused a discussion between commission members.

There also should be mentioned that many voters come to vote to this polling station not sober.
