Regional election commission head Marina Zakharova pointed out that the election campaign had been difficult in the region due to provocations staged by Ukraine.

On the first day of the three-day voting, the Ukrainian armed forces carried out strikes on polling stations in Kakhovka and Brilyovka, leaving two people wounded. An explosive device exploded outside a polling station in Skadovsk. On the second day of voting, a Ukrainian drone tried to attack local election commission members in Kakhovka but was downed. Another drone was destroyed in Novaya Kakhovka while trying to attack a building where a polling station used to be located.
