Volunteers and mobile voters: what the elections for the State Duma deputies in Tatarstan will be like

      In the upcoming elections, several services have been prepared for voters to make voting more convenient.

      Ballots will be protected in a new way – with microtext.

      One of the innovations in this year's elections will be a new ballot protection system, as reported by the chairman of the Central Election Commission of Tatarstan, Andrey Kondratiev, to journalists. "Ballots will be protected with special microtext. It will be applied to the strips separating candidates. When viewed normally, this text is invisible, but under certain conditions, it can be seen. This is one of the most modern ways to protect an electoral ballot," he explained. The acceptance of documents for the State Duma elections has ended. The Central Election Commission of Russia has registered 11 parties exempt from collecting signatures. Their federal lists include 84 candidates from Tatarstan. In single-member districts in the republic, 34 candidates have been nominated, 31 of whom are already registered. The draw that determined the order of parties on the federal ballot has already taken place. Candidates in the ballots for single-member districts will be listed in alphabetical order.

      Voters who need assistance at the polling station will be able to turn to volunteers.

      This year, volunteers will work at polling stations across the country, whom those in need of assistance can approach. "Every voter can go to the State Services portal and in the 'Elections' tab, submit a request for volunteer assistance at the polling station. This primarily concerns, among others, participants of the Special Military Operation, who need such assistance," Kondratiev said. The corresponding application must be submitted by September 14. A special training program for volunteers who will work at the elections will begin soon. Special attention will be paid to security issues. A special thematic track has been included in the training modules for staff of territorial election commissions and volunteers.

      Citizens can vote at a convenient polling station using the "Mobile Voter" service.

      The "Mobile Voter" service will continue to operate, allowing voters to cast their ballots at a convenient location anywhere in the country. To do this, an application must be submitted in advance – from August 3 to September 14, said the human rights commissioner in Tatarstan, Sariya Saburskaya. "Today, such a mechanism is in place. This will be very useful for students, people on business trips, those who will be on a plane, and many other categories of voters," she emphasized. Special polling stations will also operate at airports in Tatarstan. The "Mobile Voter" also allows those who are outside the republic on election days to make their choice at any convenient polling station in the country.

      A hotline for election-related questions is already operational. You can call to clarify information about candidates, polling stations, and the voting process. The federal number is 8-800-200-00-20, and the republican number is 292-84-33. In addition, all polling stations will be accessible to people with disabilities. They will be equipped with everything necessary, including ramps, and special voting materials will be provided for visually impaired voters.
