Details: Sobolevskyi stated that locals warn each other when mobile voting groups are approaching and hide in their houses not to participate in the occupying "elctions".

Nikitenko has published a photo with a corresponding caption.

Quote: "The residents of Skadovsk are hiding from a group of armed people who are escorting those dressed in civil clothes and forcing everyone to vote in the sham election.

The situation is the same all over the temporarily occupied part of Kherson Oblast. There are no lists of candidates, they just add anyone to the blanks."

Previously: In June, it was revealed that the Central Electoral Commission of Russia announced elections to fake parliaments and local "authorities" in the occupied territories of Kherson Oblast and three more oblasts in Ukraine.

Later, it was revealed that it would be possible to "vote" beyond the temporarily occupied territories of Kherson Oblast from 1 to 4 September.

Moreover, the occupiers report that the "elections" for the residents of remote districts and the settlements that are hard to reach will be held on 2-7 September.

Earlier, Sobolevskyi reported there is already a "list of winners" of the sham elections in the occupied territories.
