The central electoral commission of the Transnistrian region has published throughout the day data regarding voter turnout, which ultimately proved to be calculated from a smaller number of voters than officially announced. Publicly, the electoral body declared that there would be approximately 395 thousand people with the right to vote in the region, reports the IPN reporter from the left bank of the Dniester.
At 10:00 AM, 19,249 voters were announced, which represented 4.91%. This percentage corresponds to an estimated number of 392,036 voters included on the lists.
At 12:00 PM, the CEC reported 48,923 voters and a turnout of 12.39%, which would already imply 394,084 voters.
However, at 02:00 PM, with 72,980 voters and a turnout of 20.1%, calculations indicate a total of approximately 363,084 voters – about 30 thousand less than the figure previously announced.
Furthermore, after 02:00 PM – the moment when the discrepancies were noticed by the anonymous local channels on Telegram – the CEC ceased to publish data regarding attendance. Until then, these were updated every two hours.
On November 30, elections are taking place in the Transnistrian region. Deputies are being elected at all levels of representation.
