all in All, a different kind of campaign will be held in 83 regions of the country.

– mandatory in 41 out of 83 regions the procedure for early voting must be applied in the elections of deputies of the state Duma, elections of the highest officials of constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the basic elections of deputies of legislative and representative authorities of constituent entities of the Russian Federation and the main elections to bodies of local self-government in the capitals of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, – said Pamfilova.

the main voting day is September 13. And two additional days are given to citizens for their convenience and sanitary safety. Because the pandemic even in the whole country and “when”, but “complacency”, I’m sure Ella Pamfilova.

She explained that the election will be able to apply four additional forms of organization of voting early. These forms are spelled out in the adopted resolution. Defining them to the CEC based on the experience of holding a nationwide vote on amendments to the Constitution.

first, before the main date, voters will be able to make a choice in the voting premises (from 8 to 20 hours local time). Secondly, at home. Thirdly, in adjoining areas and common areas. And the fourth type of early voting of groups of voters who live in localities where no premises for voting and the transport message with which is difficult.

Ella Pamfilova also said that the CEC will toughen requirements to the equipment of the places for voting on the local area. So, you will need to arrange a place for secret voting, where there will be “portable screen, table screen or the booth for secret vote, designated to issue ballot papers”. Among other things, will need to provide space for the accommodation of members of commissions and observers.

– Also taking into account the weather and climatic conditions we recommend the use of lightweight structures – awnings, canopies that provide protection from possible rain, – continued the head of the CEC.

Another requirement applies to all types of voting early. It should be at least two members of precinct election commissions with deliberative vote in the presence of at least two observers. And only in extreme, exceptional cases, one member of the Commission.

with regard to surveillance, the CEC has provided another innovation. The Commission will offer parties and candidates to establish a pool of observers for the September elections. It is not necessary to be “limited to two names,” as usual, it will be possible to consider replacement. This will enable better coverage of surveillance areas. By the way, in these elections the observers will be sent directly – without the mediation of social houses.

In those regions where election campaigns will be held, practice��nical everywhere is surveillance video, said the CEC head. The election commissions will use the methods of preservation of ballots, proved its reliability during the voting on the Constitution. So, the election documents until the main voting day will be collected in special bags, print which is not damaging, it would be impossible (they will also fit in the safes). And the counting of votes will begin on the evening of 13 September after closing all sections.

the Right thus to extend the procedure of voting at the elections to the Central election Commission gave the Parliament. It’s not about new law about the possibility of a three-day vote – adopted it today after the state Duma, the Federation Council, and the law at the September election does not apply. However, the lawmakers reminded Pamfilova, gave the CEC the authority in a situation of a pandemic “to determine the possibility and procedure for early voting.” “That is, in this case, in our jurisdiction, and we did not fail to take advantage of it,” said the CEC head. According to her, this decision is “demand of time”.

At the end of from 11 to 13 September, the CEC, according to Pamfilova, will prepare a package of proposals to Parliament – it is not excluded that will require a second stage of reform of the electoral law.
