Polls Close in Eastern Ukraine amid Allegations of Fraud and Double-Voting

Donetsk, Ukraine (CNN) -- Polls closed Sunday after voters streamed into
polling stations in eastern Ukraine to vote in controversial referendums
held by pro-Russian activists eager to declare independence from Kiev, an
official said.
.
Voters in the city of Donetsk faced this question on the ballot: "Do you
support the Act of Independence of the People's Republic of Donetsk?" The
options are "yes" or "no." A similar question is being put to voters in
Luhansk.
.
Many of the voters were not on the outdated registration lists but were
allowed to vote after showing identification documents.
.
There also seemed to be no system in place to prevent one person from
voting at multiple polling stations.
.
A CNN crew saw several people vote twice at one polling station, where the
ballot boxes were decorated with new Donetsk independence flags.
.
There was also a report of video showing three men arrested near Slovyansk
with boxes of "yes" ballots in their car.
.
But in a Sunday afternoon news conference, the head of the People's
Republic of Donetsk Central Election Committee, Boris Litvinov, disputed
reports that people were voting twice in some areas. Litivinov said the
lines were so long that many people had a hard time voting once, let alone
twice.
.
He also denied the report about ballot fraud. Litvinov said there was no
reason for pro-Russian activists to cheat because voter turnout was so
high.
The polls were told to stay open for 14 hours, rather than the usual 12,
to allow time to add people to the voter list if necessary, the election
committee said, adding that access to the most recent electoral rolls has
been barred by Kiev.
.
Litvinov was the official to announce that polls had closed. Results are
expected later.
.
Two incidents heightened tensions at polling places Sunday.
.
Rubber bullets were fired into the air at a station in Donetsk, said
election committee member Sergey Tretyakov.
.
Tretyakov also said police in Krasnoarmeysk tried to prevent people from
voting.
.
The central government in Kiev has declared the polls illegal.
