The CEC makes the excuse that technical issues arose, on account of which a bigger variety of voters had been reported within the elections to the European Parliament (EP) than really voted.
CEC consultant Andrejs Vaivars claims in a dialog with LETA that the error lies not within the counting of votes, however within the show of the variety of voters on the web site.
The CEC is making an attempt to eradicate the issues.
The official figures are as follows: as much as 16:00 on Saturday, a complete of 414,538 voters had voted within the European Parliament elections in Latvia, amounting to 26,9%.
Thus, the beforehand revealed info that 550,575 voters voted within the elections to the European Parliament earlier than 16:00 was refuted, or 35,73% of the entire variety of residents with voting rights.
As of 17:00 on the CEC web site info disappeared regarding voting at 16:00 and the previous knowledge at 13:10 was returned. Then, allow us to remind you, the electors counted 17.59% of those that voted.
It may be assumed that this failure within the vote counting system will probably be utilized by events and social gathering members who won’t get into the European Parliament to criticize these fortunate ones who will transfer to Brussels.
ADDED (19:20): Info has appeared on the CEC web site – it states that as of 19:12 the variety of voters within the elections is 26,61%. That is lower than the unique (35.73%) and corrected (26.9%) figures as of 16:00.
It seems that the longer the voting goes on, the smaller the variety of voters.
ADDED (20:52): The variety of voters within the elections in Latvia is 33.68%.
Saulkrasti is within the lead – on this area the turnout was 65.02%. Residents residing in Daugavpils and the Rezkne area had been least within the elections of European deputies – 20.8% of native residents went to the polling stations there.

Most different EU international locations will elect the European Parliament on Sunday, June 9. Apart from the Netherlands (voted on June 6) and Eire (June 7).
Two international locations prolonged the elections over two days – the Czech Republic (June 7-8) and Italy (June 8-9).
