Six out of fourteen candidates for the position of Lutsk city mayor (Volodymyr Lytvyniuk, Hennadii Kozhevnikov, Oleksandr Hil, Oleh Boiko, Oleksandr Hlavatskyi, Anton Kryvytskyi) have adopted an address to Lutsk residents in which they call for support of free choice. This was reported on March 31 by the Western Information Corporation's own correspondent.

The address, in particular, states:

"Dear Lutsk residents! Dear Lutsk community! We, candidates for the position of Lutsk city mayor, nominated by various political forces and through self-nomination, address you as the highest body of power in our Lutsk. The local elections, in particular the vote counting and preliminary results, indicate numerous and systematic violations of current election legislation and the Constitution of Ukraine. This casts doubt on the future final election result.

We are convinced that recounts of ballots for the elections to the Volyn Oblast and Lutsk City Councils, and for the mayoral election, will yield completely opposite results to those that the Lutsk city territorial election commission intends to publish.

We are ready to appeal to all authorities, including the court, to establish justice and call on you to support democracy, honesty, decency, and your free choice by coming out to the squares of Lutsk.

We demand that those guilty of election falsifications be held criminally liable. Justice exists and it is worth fighting for."
