2006 March Parliamentary results -
Party of Regions 32.14%, BYuT 22.9%, OU 13.95%, Socialist 5.69%,  Communist 3.66%. All other votes 20.08% (inc. against all 1.77%) with voter turnout 68% and total vote 24,409,135.

My shock is how low the 'against all' vote is, as I had thought it would be closer to 6%.Which is really good news as people did vote for a party and were much more 'engaged' in the elections than was reported.

Update - report from BYuT that attempts are being to falsify the vote count in Donetsk, Luhansk, Odessa and Crimea.  

Simferopol top prize winner in the slowness of returns. Only 19.49% of the votes counted at this time encompasssing 159 polling sites. (10 pm. 10/01) Journalists from UNIAN who telephoned were informed that counting was slow based on the number of errors in documentation form the election committees.

In Kharkiv city and oblast PoR ratings dropped from the last election according to analyst. Votes were picked up by BYuT.
