Ukraine was the only country where cases of Russian nationals' voting rights violations were reported, Russia's Commissioner for Human Rights Tatyana Moskalkova said Sunday.
On Sunday, Russians voted to elect 450 members of parliament for the next five years. Late on Saturday, scuffles broke out outside the Russian Embassy in Kiev and the Russian consulate in Odesa was briefly besieged by anti-Russian radicals on Sunday.
"It appears to be the only case abroad whereby Russian nationals signaled about violations," Moskalkova said.
The commissioner added that she had sent letters regarding the situation to her Ukrainian counterpart, the UN and Council of Europe human rights commissioners and the EU representative in Russia. "[This was done] in order for the international community to give its assessment of the unprecedented incidents, committed in violation of international norms for ensuring diplomatic missions, whereby extremist groups prevented our citizens from coming to polling stations and giving their vote," she said.
Germany's center-left Social Democrats (SPD) are leading in the election to the Berlin state parliament with 23 percent, while Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) is in for a big loss, an early exit poll showed Sunday.
The poll, conducted by Infratest dimap for national broadcaster ARD, predicted that support for Merkel's party dropped to 18 percent from 23.3 percent five years ago.
The third place is expected to go to either the far-left Linke (Left) party or the Greens who are both tied at 16.5 percent. The anti-migrant Alteranative fuer Deutschland (AfD) is projected to come fourth with 11.5 percent.
The turnout reached 53.1 percent as of 4 p.m. local time (14:00 GMT), exceeding by 7.1 percent the attendance registered during the previous state election five years ago, according to the electoral committee.
On Sunday, Berliners were electing 149 members to the state parliament. The election comes just two weeks after the AfD pushed the Christian Democrats into third place in the northeastern state of Mecklenburg-West Pomerania.
