Low turnout is being reported throughout Ukraine today, including the western Lviv region. RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service interviewed voters to try and understand what's behind the lack of enthusiasm.
This 94-year-old woman had a heck of a time trying to vote at her local precinct in the western city of Lviv. After a confrontation stretching over four hours, the woman got so fed up that she ended up ripping apart her ballot and then started eating it, according to the TV channel Hromadske.
