Quality of Election Administration, Part 5

International observers praised the election, with the OSCE noting that administration met "most" international standards. In the post-Soviet region, this is indeed high praise. The EU delegation also praised the election's quality, with a member of the European Parliament indicating that Ukraine is "...closer to the West, to the EU, than I thought."

The campaigns continue to allege falsification, with Aleksandr Turchinov from the Tymoshenko campaign office claiming that 6% was shifted (3% away from her, 3% added to Yanukovych). Yanukovych supporters demonstrated and celebrated at the CEC offices.
