Law on extending experiment on digital polling stations

May 23, 2020

The President signed the Federal Law On Extending through 2020 the Experiment on Digital Polling Stations for the By-Elections to the Seventh State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation and Elections to Bodies of State Power in Constituent Entities of the Russian Federation.

The Federal Law envisages setting up experimental digital polling stations in order to create additional conditions for the citizens of the Russian Federation to exercise their electoral right if they are outside their constituency on election day.

Under the Federal Law, voting at the digital polling stations can be administered during the by-election to the State Duma and elections to the legislatures of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation to be held on September 13, 2020.

The experiment was prompted by the positive results of implementation of the Federal Law on digital polling stations in Moscow during a State Duma by-election and the election of top government officials of constituent entities of the Russian Federation on September 8, 2019.
