Generally, we have every reason to say that, despite some technical procedural violations, despite the few significant violations of the current legislation, the local elections, if we speak about the voting day and the night when the ballots were counted, we generally meet the high democratic standards," told Oleksiy Koshel, the head of the Ukrainian Voters Committee, at a press conference in Kyiv on October 26.At the same time, the Ukrainian Voters Committee pointed out that there are "potential problems" in the November 15 second round of the elections. Specifically, observers are pointing to three regional centers: Dnepropetrovsk, Uzhgorod and Odesa. Koshel also said the elections in Mariupol, Donetsk region, should be postponed until 2016.
