Massive election tampering – 20,890 citizens “changed” address
The Ministry of Interior has asked the Prefects to record all cases of electoral list objections and forward them to the Attorney General for further investigation. Almost half of the objections were accepted by provincial administrations, with 41% of the total objections being approved. If a case of wrongdoing is established, those involved will face criminal charges, with potential penalties of up to six months in prison or a 1000 euro fine. There are suspicions that the objections and voter relocations may have been organized by political parties or candidates, but a police investigation is ongoing to determine the truth.
