The Central Elections Commission (CEC)
has not stripped a single international observer monitoring Russian
presidential election of accreditation.
"Not a single foreign observer has been stripped of accreditation,
even though there were reasons, as you know," CEC member Igor Borisov
said in Moscow.
He gave a generalized portrait of an international observer monitoring
the election.
Borisov said that the average age of the observer is 50, with the
oldest being a CIS observer from Belarus, who is 70, and the youngest,
21, from Armenia.
He said all international observers have a college or university
degree. He said 42 of the observers, or 18%, are women.
"Over 70% of the observers have experience working as international
or foreign observers in foreign countries," Borisov said.
He said that 235 accredited observers from 32 counties followed the
Sunday election and planned to visit 40 Russian territories.
