Not just actually, it was at 15:45 that I cast my ballot. The polling station was completely empty except for Precinct Election Commission members. Even election "observers" were outside chatting, smoking and joking. The lists where voters put their signatures after receiving their ballots were completely empty, except for some random signatures. What drew my attention was the contrast between the completely empty lists and three boxes completely full with ballots. The boxes were so full that I hardly could cast my ballot into one of them. I looked at time - it was 15:45 - empty lists, empty station, full boxes.

thanks for the post!
empty station,3 full boxes, in the end 72 percent of voters have participated in the poll...it explains full boxes
thanks for the post, similar things happened at our voting polling station today as well.
Certain Azeri groups will say it was a good election process and they will spread the word in Congress. They also work for the Azeri Aliev family.
Was this unanticipated? No, but I would have put it at 84% just for stats purposes so it was not laughed at.
The problem was not with Aliev's "knowledge" of politics (as he was teaching and his comments);it is what else was decided.
When there are protests, you have to ask the police for permission to take pictures of people they are beating!
I was at a convention this week and was told that Azerbaijan has no chance to be a democratic country. Like no one knew it.
The comment was: The US only cares about terrorist threats upon itself, otherwise it does not care what happens.
Azeri democracy? We are all dreaming and the people suffer, we can cry all we want, it will not happen until we stop it and the way is not what Azeris will take.
