Pamfilova admitted problems with communication in the regions during the elections
Disruptions to the Internet and communications in Russian regions are possible, but such restrictions will be imposed solely in the interests of the safety of citizens. This was announced on June 15 by the chairman of the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation, Ella Pamfilova, at a meeting.
"I believe that there is no need to grumble, because let's put it on the scales.: You couldn't access the Internet or saved people's lives. Problems with communication and the Internet will be in the interests of security," Pamfilova said, commenting on the organization of remote electronic voting in the upcoming elections.
The head of the CEC stressed that the election commissions have already adapted to work in such conditions and successfully conduct online voting. In addition, Wi-Fi access points will be additionally installed at the sites.
On April 1, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that no external forces should get a single chance to influence the election results in Russia. The Head of State stressed that any attempts to use the electoral process to destabilize the situation in society would be severely suppressed. According to the Russian leader, the relevant tasks have already been assigned to law enforcement agencies.
