The Central Election Commission refused to declare unlawful the establishment of polling stations in Volyn Oblast following a complaint from Yushchenko's headquarters

The CEC adopted this decision at its session on Tuesday.

Katerynchuk asked the CEC to recognize as unlawful the creation by the territorial election commission of district No. 20 of polling stations, because they were not created in all populated areas.

The CEC decided to leave the complaint without satisfaction, because the territorial election commission adopted the decision on the creation of stations in accordance with the law.

At the same time, the CEC, on another complaint by Katerynchuk, obligated the territorial election commission to create special polling stations in two district hospitals of electoral district No. 21, also in the Volyn region.

Electoral district No. 20 includes Horokhiv, Lokachi, Lutsk, Rozhyshche and Turiisk districts of the Volyn region.

Electoral district No. 21 includes the city of Kovel, Kovel, Ratne, Stara Vyzhivka and Shatsk districts of the Volyn region.

As the agency reported, in total there are 225 territorial election commissions in Ukraine.

On July 3, Ukraine began the presidential election campaign, which will take place on October 31.
