On the day of the October 20 election, the Agency’s centers issued over 1,000 provisional identity cards. Almost 1,700 ready identity cards were handed over.
Also, the PSA issued a statement noting that, in the context of the multiple attempts to corrupt voters in the public space, in close cooperation with the Anticorruption Prosecutor's Office and the General Police Inspectorate, it initiated a number of checks as a result of which a group of PSA employees who received money in reward for the vote cast in the October 20 election and referendum was identified.
