The sudden acceleration of moves to bring Crimea, which has an ethnic Russian majority and has effectively been seized by Russian forces, formally under Moscow's rule came as European Union leaders gathered for an emergency summit to seek ways to pressure Russia to back down and accept mediation.

My Comment: I expect a n80% (plus) vote in favor of joining Russia .... and they will not need to fix the vote. And if Crimea successfully secedes from Ukraine .... I do expect other eastern Ukraine provinces to have similar votes in the next few months.
