the Applications for hosting the online vote on the Constitution originally filed five regions – Moscow, St. Petersburg, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Nizhny Novgorod oblast and Karelia. But the CEC decided to provide this option only to two. The application of the Republic of Karelia members of the Commission considered insufficiently prepared. Krasnoyarsk Krai summed up the time difference, and St. Petersburg- shortcomings in the work of election commissions, which, as noted by the CEC head, Ella Pamfilova, has affected the confidence of voters.
Until now, the electronic form of voting at the Federal level were not used, last year it was first used in Moscow in the elections of deputies of the Moscow Parliament in three districts. Recently, the rate of remote voting was introduced in the law on basic guarantees of electoral rights of citizens of the Russian Federation. This is available for voting on amendments to the Basic Law, which will take place according to special rules. When selecting the region, the CEC took into account several parameters, including the willingness of citizens to participate in an online format, the number of users of digital services, the technical equipment of the electoral commissions, the willingness of the public chamber of the region to prepare observers on electronic voting.
is Taken into account the epidemiological situation in the region. As stressed Ella Pamfilova, the main advantage of online voting – it noncontact. The form is especially popular among those who is in isolation or left to give. To apply for participation in remote electronic voting (deg) are the owners of verified accounts on a single portal of public services. Muscovites will be able to do it on public services and on the website mos.ru.
the Peculiarity of this campaign – to vote via the Internet will be from 25 June and to 20.00 on 30 June. Who registered, but could not or did not want to use the DAG has the right to come to your site and to give voice to the classical way on 1 July. This is done in order to exclude the possibility of double voting. Precinct election Commission via a special service can check whether a citizen e-newsletter. If not received, will issue ordinary paper.
According to Minister for digital development, communications and mass communications of the Russian Federation Maksuta Chadaeva, the Agency today, on June 5, ready to start the process of filing applications for participation in the deg through a single portal of public services, it is certain that failures will not be. “The portal of public services over the past two months was a large window to provide various electronic services. About 20 million applications were filed for registration on the portal. We had very high traffic. Last week we conducted tests to be sure that even if the mass load, we should celebrateXia”, – assured the Minister. The deadline for submission of application – June 21 14.00.
As explained by the head of Rostelecom Mikhail Oseevsky, citizens will first go to your personal Cabinet on the single portal of services or on the mos.ru then go to the portal 2020og.ru more time will be identified and then vote anonymously.
Tatarstan foreign filling gadgets, with which citizens will vote, do not interfere with the operation of the system. Hacker attacks in Rostelecom is also not afraid, he said. A few days ago in the primary election of the party “United Russia” all the technology that will be used during the plebiscite on the Constitution was tested again and worked without any problems, he said.
However, Moscow intends to hold a test vote to verify the functionality of the system. As told the head of the relevant Department of the Metropolitan government Artem Kostyrko, in mid-June, owners of accounts at the Federal portal of public services and mos.ru will be able to “see how it looks from the inside and then make a decision whether they’re interested such a vote or not.”
the Basis for electronic voting will be a Moscow technology that was used last year. It is based on encryption by means of four keys, which are stored separately to the debriefing. After the polls closed at 20.00 July 1, will begin collecting keys in the presence of TEC members, observers and journalists, the results will come in system gas “Elections”. Hold deg will be specially created territorial Commission. Its membership invite representatives of the parliamentary and other political parties, as well as members of regional election commissions, which will host the deg. The CEC considers that this will increase the credibility of the new procedure.
