Lutsk Mayor Anton Kryvytskyi called errors in the voter lists "systemic and objective." He made this statement during an operational meeting at the Lutsk City Executive Committee, which took place on November 9. The mayor believes that from the time the voter lists were submitted (September 1) to the territorial election commission until election day (October 31), ongoing changes occurred in these lists. According to him, 2,500 Lutsk residents changed their registration place, 300 people died, and almost 200 changed their surnames as a result of marriage. He noted that out of 154,000 voters in Lutsk, only 560 people filed complaints about their absence from the lists or inaccuracies in surname, address, etc., which is only 0.4% of Lutsk voters. However, the mayor said nothing about those voters who, not finding themselves on the lists, did not want to burden themselves with court proceedings on election day or stand in lines for hours under the walls of the territorial election commission. According to the head of the Volyn regional headquarters of Viktor Yushchenko, Volodymyr Bondar, in the Volyn territory, 10 to 15 percent of voters were unable to participate in voting due to absence or inaccuracy in the voter lists. Anton Kryvytskyi believes that attention should be focused on something else, for example, only 10% of those eligible to vote checked in advance whether their own surname was on the voter lists, and 22% of voters did not come to the polling stations at all on October 31. In addition, according to Anton Kryvytskyi, in Lutsk more than 20,000 people have no registration, or more precisely, deliberately avoid it, since they seek not to pay for communal services or to receive subsidies. Meanwhile, the city mayor instructed that for the next round of the presidential election, the utmost care should be taken in order to properly organize the voter lists. And he called on Lutsk residents to check them in advance. Overall in Lutsk, 77.8 percent of voters took part in voting. Of these, 76.2 percent expressed their support for Viktor Yushchenko, 9.5 percent for Viktor Yanukovych. Lutsk Mayor Anton Kryvytskyi also heads the regional committee of the SDPU(o).
