Paragraph 65
 

Article 55(4-6). Mobile voting boxes. This practice from the Soviet era is not followed in established democracies where allegations of fraud or political pressure are far rarer than in the Commonwealth of Independent States.

The reference at the end of Paragraph 5 must be to Paragraph 6.
