The preliminary results of the elections were presented to the journalists by the Chairperson of the CEC Lidia Yermoshina. “They were literally obtained in manual mode due to the fact that the Central Commission, at least me and the analyst, there were only two of us, were evacuated from the Government House at 1 am. Therefore, we did not accept the results. We accepted them only now, literally on the eve of this briefing, "said Lydia Yermoshina. In this regard, the only result that the head of the Central Election Commission announced yesterday was for the closed areas formed in hospitals and military units. In addition, results were announced for some areas.
