Gender statistics are not to be included in the data of the summary protocol of the voting results and it is not related to the voting results, - it is stated in the statement of the Central Election Commission, which was released by the agency in response to the "Fair Elections" statement.
According to the CEC, the mentioned non-governmental organization continues to manipulate the topic of voters' gender activity.
According to the administration, preliminary data on voter activity cannot be an objective basis for making any conclusions regarding the election results.
"NGO "Fair Elections" continues to manipulate the topic of voter gender activity, despite the fact that the election administration has repeatedly explained the reason for individual cases of inconsistency in voter gender activity data and indicated that preliminary voter activity data cannot be an objective basis for drawing any conclusions regarding the election results.
It is significant that "Fair Elections" on the one hand trusts the CEC's primary data on voter turnout in terms of gender, and on the other hand distrusts the preliminary official results of the elections recorded by the CEC, against the background that, according to their own statement, the results of the parallel counting of votes by the organization are consistent with the results of the CEC. It should be noted that "Fair Elections" tries to justify the non-publicity of these results with vague and unconvincing arguments.
It is well known to the organization that the counting of female and male voters participating in the elections by the members of the registrar commission is done not by counting the number of women and men who came to the elections, but by the data of the registration of the voters who came and also by the similar data of the transfer box. After that, the registrars count only the number of female voters, while the male voters are counted from the total number of voters who came. Therefore, an inaccuracy in the first data will automatically lead to an inaccuracy in the second data as well. However, it should be emphasized that gender-disaggregated activity counting is not a legal requirement. The mentioned data is processed only for non-election purposes and it has no connection with the official data of election results.
In the data that "Fair Elections" received from the CEC, there were several errors caused by human error, which the election administration, as a responsible agency, confirmed. In particular, from 11 polling stations, the inaccuracies in the transmitted number of women participating in the elections caused an error in the registration of the gender of 150 voters in total, which is an insignificant indicator when registering more than 2 million voters. The attempt of "Fair Elections" to generalize the inaccuracies allowed in 11 precincts and christening it as "significant discrepancy", even more so, to present it as a fact confirming election fraud, is simply frivolous. While their own parallel count results in 2020 did not match the actual results, Fair Elections called it a "trivial inaccuracy".
It is significant that at first "Fair Elections" assured the public that similar inaccuracies were recorded in 23 polling stations. After it was proven that neither was true, instead of admitting its mistake, the organization switched to versions of the evidence of the abnormality of high activity in men in general and attempts to create the corresponding speculative perceptions.
At the end, we explain once again that the exact turnout of voters is reflected in the summary reports that are drawn up at the polling stations, and it is based on these data that the final turnout, which is recorded in the summary report of the elections, is determined. Gender statistics will not be included in the data of the summary protocol of voting results and it is not related to the voting results.
The facts cited are known to all parties involved, including those whose interest, unfortunately, seems to be in manipulating information instead of providing the public with facts.
The number of participants in the elections according to the summary protocols, gender statistics (across the country)," the statement of the CEC states.
For information, the statement issued by the "International Society for Fair Elections and Democracy" states that "the CEC's explanations for the significant discrepancies in the gender data of voters are insufficient".
According to them, according to the latest data of the CEC, the difference between the activity levels of male and female voters in 275 polling stations exceeds 20 percentage points. amounts, while in the same precincts from the single list of voters The average level of activity is 48% for women and 77% for men.
