Moreover, posters of Vasila Hajiyeva were regularly removed from election boards till election day. In addition, three other persons with surname of Hajiyeva and Hajiyev were nominated as candidates for the presence in the ballot papers on Hajiyev's name (these people did not campaign in the area). On February 10, 2020, Vasila Hajiyeva addressed the public about the fraudulent victory of Mikhail Zabelin on election day (February 9, 2020) with reliable facts about the violation of the electoral rights of voters and total fraud. , On February 12, 2020, Vasila Hajiyeva filed a complaint against the actions (inactions) and decisions violating citizens’ election rights in the Election to the Milli Majlis, appointed to February 9, 2020.
