While processing the voting results, we noticed an interesting fact: there are polling stations, where the certain parties didn't receive any votes. For example, the People's Front didn't receive any votes at 131 polling stations, the Petro Poroshenko Block – at 73 polls. However, the most interesting is how many polling stations gave zero votes for the Communist Party of Ukraine? Taking into consideration the latest events and statements if the President of Ukraine, the fact that the communists didn't get any seats in the Parliament is the most interesting. Despite the results of our analysis are quite expected, they are definitely interesting

Thus, none of the votes were given for communists at 4,096 polling stations of 29,652 existing that were published on website of the CEC site on 3 November. These polling stations can be divided into: regular - 3,797, "medical" (medical institutions and rehabilitation centers) - 269, "penitentiary" (prisons, colonies, and pretrial detention centers) - 28, and "military" (polling stations in military units) - 2. The total number of voters at these polling stations is 1,709,900. This number comprises 5.63% of the total number of voters included in the State Voter Register. Thus, we can affirm that almost 6% of citizens refused to support the Communist Party. To provide detailed information, we created a table of polling stations which didn't support communists. We have also added other characteristics for comparison.

These three oblasts are also in top three of oblasts with the largest number of voters: Ternopil oblast (40.25%), Ivano-Frankivsk oblast (35.93%), and Lviv oblast (30.48%).

To illustrate the abovementioned data, we created two cartograms. The first depicts the number of polling stations in Ukrainian oblasts and Kyiv city, where the voters didn't give any votes for the communists. The second cartogam shows the total number of voters at polling stations where the voters didn't give any votes for the communists.
