The head of the Volyn Regional State Administration, Vladimir Bondar, was unable to vote because his name was not found in the voter lists at the polling station. As explained at DEC No. 7, he was in the previous lists, but the commission removed him based on a certificate provided by the regional address bureau. This was reported by a correspondent of the Western Information Corporation. The comical and dramatic nature of the situation lies in the fact that Volodymyr Bondar is a native resident of Lutsk.
As of 16:00, about 50% of Volyn residents had voted. Voter turnout ranged from 41.6% (the city of Novovolynsk) to 58.9% (Kovel district). This was reported by a correspondent of the Western Information Corporation.
