The weather is great for today's election but that may not translate to a high voter turnout. Experts predict turnout will be lower than the presidential elections in March and April when 62 percent of eligible voters cast ballots. The 2014 parliamentary elections saw 52 percent voter turnout. Low voter turnout may bode poorly for parties filled with new faces, such as President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's Servant of the People and singer Svyatoslav Vakarchuk's Voice. But it could help establishment parties like those of former President Petro Poroshenko (European Solidarity) and ex-Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko (Fatherland), who have smaller but arguably more devout followings.
Just two hours into voting, Ukraine's National Police and Central Election Commission have reported several violations. Eight polling stations did not open on time due to technicalities, such as disputes between local officials, or fraud in one case.
In Bakhmut, a city that butts up against the front line of the war in eastern Ukraine, a polling station was closed after its official observers were found to have already fixed the results sheet in the local district race. Police said they tried to hide the fix by dumping ink over the documents.
