CEC calls on police to ensure law and order in DECs

Member of the Central Election Commission Mykhailo Okhendovsky said it is inadmissible to use the law enforcement agencies in the political interests of individual candidates.

"Of course, the police cannot stand for a certain candidate in a single-member constituency. We hope that law enforcement agencies and prosecutors will act only within the limits of their competence in order to ensure law and order and protect the constitutional rights of the citizens of Ukraine," Okhendovsky said.

The CEC member called on law enforcement agencies to take all measures to ensure law and order in the premises of the district election commissions and preservation of election documents, which are stored in the election commissions.
