OPORA refutes information disseminated on 25 October

Some online publications have disseminated fake information on 24 October claiming that OPORA had allegedly registered more than six hundred employees of a security guard company as observers in Dnipropetrovsk.

OPORA affirms that all its observers in Dnipropetrovsk are citizens of Ukraine who were selected and trained on the peculiarities of electoral legislation and its application.

Most of our activists who will observe the election day are students of Dnipropetrovsk HEIs.

OPORA's observation mission in Dnipropetrovsk, as well as in other settlements of Ukraine is to secure oversight of the election procedures during the voting and vote count at PECs and their correspondence to the Ukrainian laws and international standards.

OPORA considers the disseminated information as provocation aimed to destabilize the election process in Dnipropetrovsk and discredit citizen monitoring efforts.
