Voting in local areas will not be used in the September elections, said Ella Pamfilova, HEAD of the Central Election Commission, RBC correspondent reports.

According to her, only two forms will be used this year on a single voting day in all regions: voting directly at the polling station, as well as voting in remote areas where field commissions will work.

“No voting on stumps is provided anywhere, in any region. We made this decision a long time ago, in the last campaign, and we are very consistently moving in this direction,” Pamfilova said at a CEC meeting.

According to her, “voting on stumps” worked when there was a peak in the incidence of COVID-19, but now there is no need to return to this form of voting.

Pamfilova also said that the CEC decided to return the mask regime, and also asked her “colleagues in the regions” to analyze measures against the spread of infection.
