In Moscow, observers are reporting pressure and threats

In Moscow, observers at polling stations are reporting pressure, confrontations, and threats of being removed from the stations.

At polling station 1197, the police were called to remove an observer from the premises.

At polling station 2753, the commission chair took an independent member of the Precinct Election Commission into a separate office, where they threatened to call the police after being asked to show the applications for home voting. An expert explained that removing a commission member from the station is illegal, since all work of the polling station commission should take place in the single voting area, according to RusNews.
