Controversy in the Takalo precinct # 44

October 8, 2016
 
Commission members and observers had verbal controversy in Takalo village precinct # 44 in Marneuli DEC # 35. Human Rights Center’s observer reported that the opposing parties were arguing in Azerbaijani language for what she could not understand what was the reason of the controversy. Afterwards, one of them (member of the Free Zone) told her the commission members suggested the voters to mark 41.

HRIDC observer suggested the observer from the Free Zone to lodge complaint about the violation but he said it was useless to write anything because “nobody will check it.”

As HRIDC observer reported, besides that incident very often female voters, who are not disabled and do not have relevant documents, are accompanied by persons who has already voted in the precinct and followed them into the booth. 

There are cases when men accompany their wives and enter booths together with them. The observer said one man first accompanied his sister and then tried to accompany his mother too. But the HRIDC observer tried to warn the commission chairperson who was not in the precinct in that moment. Having returned back, the chairperson demanded the man to leave the polling station. The HRIDC observer registered complaint about this violation.
