TI BiH calls on judicial institutions to investigate allegations of mass election fraud in RS

(Patria) - Transparency International (TI) in BiH has called on competent judicial institutions to investigate the evidence collected by the Central Election Commission (CEC) of BiH regarding mass election fraud that has been recurring for several election cycles in the same pattern.

The CEC of BiH, at yesterday's session, annulled the early elections for the President of Republika Srpska at 136 polling stations and presented scandalous information about mass identity theft and the addition of votes for voters who did not turn out to vote.

CEC annulled election results for the President of RS at 136 polling stations in 17 electoral units due to manipulation

(Patria) - The Central Election Commission of BiH, at today's session, with five votes in favor and two against (Irena Hadžiabdić and Vlado Rogić), adopted the decision to annul the results of the early elections for the President of RS at 136 polling stations in 17 electoral units.

Specifically, at the disputed locations, falsification of voter signatures was determined, and in most cases, as stated in the decision to annul the elections, these were "obvious forgeries that even a layman can recognize" and cases where it is evident that the same individuals left two or more signatures.

It was stated at the session that a lot more time would be needed for a detailed analysis, and it should be reminded that the same pattern of mass vote theft has been proven in numerous court rulings through the testimonies of voters who did not turn out to vote and whose identities were misused.

TI BiH previously published an analysis of vote distribution in relation to turnout, which showed a significant increase in the share of votes for the ruling coalition candidates at polling stations that showed unnaturally high turnout.

In addition, an analysis of turnout in different intervals based on additional CEC data was published, and at some polling stations, it appeared that one voter voted every 53 seconds.

These statistical data required further investigation and collection of concrete evidence, and it should be emphasized that the CEC conducted a very significant procedure to determine election law violations, which included graphological expertise at 270 polling stations.

During this process, in addition to voters whose signatures were falsified, more than 2,000 voters were found who had signed even though they did not have any valid personal document.

It was stated at yesterday's session that for such persons, IDDEEA could not provide signature samples for graphological analysis.

TI BiH reminds that it has previously warned that outdated voter lists leave enormous room for such election manipulations, as they include a large number of people who have left BiH.

Despite such occurrences, observers and members of polling station committees entered only 13 remarks into the minutes regarding the election process, which opens up numerous other questions.

"It is important to note that the practice of trading polling station committees by political parties has been observed before, and in numerous court proceedings for election fraud that TI BiH followed, observers often testified that they saw nothing wrong, even though it was proven in court that votes were massively added for voters who did not vote, and even for those who had died before the elections and were not removed from the voter list.

Therefore, it is important to emphasize again the significance of introducing election technologies for voter identification and vote counting, as a large number of citizens have lost confidence in such an election process," stated TI BiH.
