About the elections on a single voting day in the Russian Federation >
A single voting day will be held on 8 September 2019.
More than 5 000 election campaigns at all levels and referendum campaigns in 85 constituent entities of the Russian Federation will be held on a single voting day in 2019. 4 regions will hold by-elections of deputies of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation of the seventh convocation, 16 regions will hold elections of senior officials of subjects of the Russian Federation, 13 regions – elections of deputies of legislative (representative) bodies of state power, 3 regions – elections of heads of municipalities of administrative centers of subjects of the Russian Federation; 22 regions – elections of deputies of representative bodies of municipalities, as well as elections to local governments of municipal districts, urban and rural settlements. About 47 000 mandates and elected positions will be filled at elections of all levels. About 56 million citizens will be able to participate in the upcoming elections.
About innovations in the elections on 8 September 2019 >
In accordance with the Federal Law of the Russian Federation No. 102-FZ of 29 May 2019 two experiments will be conducted on the single voting day on 8 September 2019:
- organization and implementation of remote electronic voting during the elections of deputies of the Moscow city Duma, which will be available for voters from several electoral districts of Moscow. Electronic voting will be an additional opportunity for voters to exercise their active right to vote on an equal basis with traditional voting. Citizens can choose which method is more convenient for them;
- voting in the digital polling stations established in the territory of Moscow. Voters who are outside their constituency on the day of voting will be able to vote in Moscow. The experiment involves 4 subjects of the Russian Federation, where by-elections of deputies of the State Duma of the seventh convocation will be held, as well as 16 regions where gubernatorial elections are planned.
The participants of the Moscow International Scientific and Practical Conference will have the opportunity to learn about these experiments firsthand, to discuss current trends, challenges and solutions, as well as national approaches in the field of electronic means and voting methods.
