On September 30 at 11 a.m., activists of the civic campaign "Pora" visited 190 out of 225 territorial election commissions operating on the territory of Ukraine.
The young people distributed among the TEC members, media representatives and simply passers-by an address by the civic campaign "Pora," which expresses the belief that "honest, decent and intelligent people were elected to the election commissions." However, it is noted, they will be subjected to tremendous pressure, and it will depend only on them whether the results of the Ukrainian Presidential election will be falsified.
The action aims to emphasize the interest of every ordinary person in open, transparent elections and, at the same time, to show the public's readiness to use its constitutional right and to seek compliance with the principles of democracy by all means provided by law.
It is interesting that the greatest interest and liveliness was aroused by the action among representatives of the authorities and law enforcement agencies — that is, those who, generally speaking, are not subjects of the election process.
So, details of the action in Volyn: Commission of territorial election district No. 21 Kovel, Stepan Bandera St., 2 (premises of the district library)
The action took place surprisingly calmly. The meeting of "Pora" activists and TEC members took place in a rather friendly atmosphere; the latter promised to pass the address on to their colleagues who were absent at the moment. It is just an interesting coincidence: immediately after it ended, the young people noticed the head of the district state administration, Mr. Karpyuk, coming out of the library. Commission of territorial election district No. 22 Lutsk, Bohdan Khmelnytskyi St., 19 (premises of the city executive committee)
When the campaign representatives approached the TEC, almost two dozen law enforcement officers were already meeting them, but in fairness it should be noted that they did not interfere in any way with the conduct of the action (except for the already traditional video recording). The young people handed out the address to passers-by, TEC members present and members of precinct commissions who, very conveniently, were just gathering right there. Particular note should be made of the aggressiveness of the latter, who almost threw the addresses offered to them right in one's face.
Commission of territorial election district No. 23 Manevychi district, Manevychi urban-type settlement, Nezalezhnosti St., 30 (premises of the district state administration)
The action in Manevychi ended almost like a thriller. At first nothing out of the ordinary happened: activists handed out leaflets, TEC members, three pleasant little women, sincerely assured that they would do everything possible to ensure the elections were held without falsifications, police officers performed their law enforcement function, and the "Zhiguli" stood peacefully in the yard. Imagine the surprise of the "Pora" campaign representatives when the bus in which they were returning home was stopped by those same "Zhiguli" just a few seconds after departure. A man with a video camera got out of it and, after talking to the driver, walked right up to the campaign activists and began shamelessly filming their faces, to the general astonishment of all the passengers. When asked to identify himself, the man introduced himself as a cameraman for one of the region's television companies. It is just that since when do media vehicles have police license plates.
