The head of the regional state administration was unable to vote in the elections on March 26, 2006. A member of the precinct election commission refused to issue him ballots for voting on the basis of a note next to the voter's surname - "departed for another place of residence"...
Doubts about the place of inclusion in the voter list for the head of the regional state administration did arise - after all, in the status of a people's deputy of Ukraine about a year ago he registered in an apartment allocated to him for residence in Kyiv. After being appointed head of the regional state administration and returning to his permanent place of residence in the city of Lutsk, he theoretically assumed that he could have been included twice in the voter lists - in the cities of Lutsk and Kyiv. In such a case, according to the explanations of the Central Election Commission, the voter registration working group should have approached the voter with a request that he personally determine the place of his voting. Since the head of the regional state administration did not receive such requests, he decided to verify the city of his inclusion in the lists, for which on March 24, 2006 he received an affirmative answer from the Lutsk territorial election commission and the corresponding information about the number in the list. Twice, as required by law, members of the precinct commission brought invitations to Volodymyr Nalkovych Bondar for him to take part in voting in the city of Lutsk.
According to the information of the head of the Lutsk city working group for voter registration, Oleksandr Voliyko, the introduction of clarifications to the lists in the city of Lutsk took place on Friday by decision of the Central Election Commission, which it adopted based on the results of detecting multiple inclusion in the all-Ukrainian voter list. During the week, about 9 thousand people were removed from the lists. The tired workers of the working group (as they explained) had no time left to clarify the voter's wishes.
Commenting on the extraordinary situation, the head of the regional state administration said that he, of course, finds it unpleasant to perceive being deprived of one of the most fundamental civil rights, however, the additional inclusion of voters in the list on voting day is not permitted by law, and therefore he approves of the actions of the member of the precinct commission who conscientiously performs her duties, clearly adhering to the requirements of the legislation. From all this he draws a conclusion that fits briefly into the well-known norm of Roman law - "A bad law, but - the Law."
