Microfont will be introduced in the State Duma elections to protect ballots from counterfeiting.

      In the elections for the State Duma deputies in 2026, additional measures for ballot protection will be introduced – all lines in them will be printed in a special microfont. This was announced at a meeting of the Public Chamber of Tatarstan by the chairman of the Central Election Commission of the republic, Andrey Kondratiev. "This year we are introducing microfont. All lines in the ballot will be made with a special microfont. If anyone has a question about whether this ballot is forged, with the slightest hint on how to check it, a person will see that this grid has a microfont that is simply impossible to forge," Kondratiev explained. According to him, this is factory production, which will replace the mark made at the State Sign. Two signatures from members of the precinct election commission with the right to a decisive vote and the seal of the PEC will also remain mandatory. Ballots with new security features will be delivered to the polling stations the day before the first day of voting.
