A difficult situation with ballot boxes is developing in Volyn on election day. This is stated by the leadership of the territorial election commissions located in the Volyn region. Thus, in territorial election district (TED) No. 19 (center – the city of Volodymyr-Volynskyi), out of 634 large and 524 small boxes required for conducting voting, as of October 26, 2004, 222 and 334 respectively had arrived. In TED No. 20 (center – the town of Horokhiv), at least 30 large boxes are missing; in TED No. 21 (center – the city of Kovel), out of the required 800 large boxes there are only 314, and out of the required 700 small ones only 360 have been delivered. In the city of Lutsk (TED No. 22), 140 large and small boxes out of the required 280 are missing. And in territorial election district No. 23 (center – the town of Manevychi), 318 large and 350 small boxes have been delivered, while 652 and 518 respectively are required. At the same time, the leadership of the territorial election commissions states that some of the boxes that arrived are not properly complete, in particular many boxes arrived without bottoms. Also, the heads of the territorial commissions doubt that by election day the CEC will supply the required number of additional boxes: "There was a telegram from the CEC that the boxes would be there, but I hardly believe it," says the head of TED No. 22, Andrii Nisimchuk. The head of TED No. 23, Volodymyr Kosianchuk, says that on October 25 Andrii Mahera, a CEC member responsible for the election process in the Volyn region, came to the district and assured that by October 29 the required number of ballot boxes would indeed be delivered to the Volyn region. But, as Volodymyr Kosianchuk stated, today his phone is not answering.
