| mai said: So the elections are over. Poroshenko it is, as expected. The only slightly surpising fact is he managed to win the elections in the first round. I'm wondering what is the pecetage of those who voted compared to those who have legal right to vote? That might be indicative. |
Answering my own question, over 60%. At first I was like, really? But then I've checked the number of electoral districs, which is 188 versus 225 as it supposed to be :D So they've exluded all districts out of their control along with electorate from the statistics. I'd understand Crimea and Sevastopol, but (even though elections have been sabotaged there, no doubt) why exclude Donetsk and Lugansk districts? It's still Ukraine.
Overall the activity of the South-East was so-so, including the regions where there's no war. Given the existing options of these elections, I don't blame them for the lack of enthusiasm.
