Baku/26.09.16/ Turan: A meeting of the party "Musavat" today discussed a referendum on constitutional amendments. According to the head of the Executive Office of "Musavat" Gulaga Aslanli, the referendum is held in an atmosphere of a low voter turnout, followed by so-called "carousel" (the same groups of people voting at different polling stations), stuffing ballot boxes in several papers. In some places voters came to the polls, and saw that someone had already put their signature before their names.
Party election headquarters have been instructed to clarify and summarize the information about violations and draw up a report covering the entire period of the referendum campaign.
A preliminary version of the report will be presented to the public on September 27, reads the statement the "Musavat" party. —06В--
