A number of irregularities had marked activity overseas polling stations monitored in this effort:
More overseas polling stations were open late and in breach of procedures. In the area of Mestre in Italy, the polling station (SV) no. 323 was open an hour and a quarter late, while the electoral precincts that met in plenary for the first time until election morning. The vote started late in Milan (SV no. 356), Madrid (SV no. 339), Santander (SV no. 370), Odessa (SV nr.350)).

In most polling stations monitored at the time of opening, some members were absent electoral. This was recorded at polling stations in Greece, several polling stations in Italy and Russia, and in rural Toulouse and Odessa.

A particular concern raised local police presence in the immediate vicinity of polling stations abroad. Thus, at the opening of 338 polling stations in Moscow, 15 policemen in uniform were located near the polling station (at the time of dissemination of this report, militiamen have fled the area around the polling station, periodically returning one or two). Similarly, in the vicinity of the polling stations in the Republic of Moldova Embassy in Athens (Greece) were six policemen. In Madrid (Spain), a police patrol stationed near polling stations. The polling station was opened in Turin near a police station in the village. In most cases the police presence was requested by representatives of electoral offices ordiniii being raised and the need to ensure security of voters and polling stations for the Madrid danger of possible terrorist acts.

In some cases, members of electoral offices demonstart incomplete knowledge of voting procedures. In Padua (Italy) two cases were recorded in the station ID. Most voters are included in supplementary lists basic list is imperfect. In some cases, polling stations did not have basic lists. This situation was found in Iraklion, Greece, and in both polling stations in Mestre, Italy.

In Italy, most polling stations did not receive ballot boxes, electoral office of one of them using cardboard boxes on the role of ballot boxes. The same problem was solved in Greece by working with the Greek public authorities who have offered to vote during the polling booths and ballot boxes transparent.
