From "the Kyiv Post's" live blog - Ukrainian soldiers accidenally scare off election workers in Luhansk:
Ukrainian soldiers who came to polls in Luhansk regions scared election officials and made them flee
4: 15 p.m. -- Oleksandr Chernenko, head of the Committee of Voters of Ukraine, an election watchdog, said that Ukrainians soldiers who came to vote at a polling station in Novovodyane village of Luhansk, scared election officials who ran for their lives, thinking the armed men were separatists.
Chernenko says that the soldiers, who are serving in that village, came dressed in full military outfits, and carried weapons.
“This really scared members of polling station, and the soldiers were left alone at the polling station. It took some time to persuade members of the commission that there is no danger. The military guys were in the voting lists, and had a right to receive ballots,” Chernenko wrote on his Facebook page.
