Later she admitted that at all did not assume that there will be such format of transfer, but communication with unfamiliar audience remained is happy.


Aspiration to an ideal …

One of the most curious became a question online version of the edition "Lipetskaya gazeta": whether not too we are anxious with impression which the western politicians about legitimacy of elections will make President of the Russian Federation? Thus journalists noted that cancellation of absentee ballots, video surveillance behind a voting process and other initiatives Election commission of Tsentralny of the Russian Federation were necessary and timely.


— To Russian Federation elections take place in the day off. And in America for the president vote on the first Tuesday of November. Also the Soviet promotion claiming was probably not so far from truth that such order contradicts interests of workers. To the person occupied in small business or all day long working for owner, extremely difficult happens to come to a site for vote. All this does not disturb United States of America to consider itself almost by a democracy standard. Respectively, there is a question: whether not too Russian Federation is zealous in making our electoral system even more available, transparent and open?

However the secretary Election commission of Tsentralny of the Russian Federation gave to

on it a definite answer, having won thereby an audience arrangement.


— With United States of America to us to equal there is no sense because each people are original and resolves the political issues in own way — Grishina Maia told. — In the Russian society there is a request for transparent and clear elections. From this we also have to proceed. And as for America, in this country vote, first of all, it, probably, show. On the contrary, more serious relation is peculiar to the Russian mentality. When our citizens go on polling stations, they really perceive it as participation in government. Therefore we will aspire further to, that both vote process, and leading of its results of steel the most clear and transparent for voters.


… And to "figure"

Other interesting question on the telecast was asked by the head of information center of regional election committee Nenakhov Vyacheslav, taken an interest as the state automated Elections system will develop further. It appeared that to vote in the location of an innovation will not be limited.


— Information technologies open unprecedented earlier opportunities, including allow to create uniform in country scales base of voters — Grishina Maia noted. — And then the person can vote on any site, having shown the electronic social card. The small European countries where is about three — five million voters, already went on such way. But the large states as France, do not hurry to refuse paper bulletins yet. To create the uniform base numbering more than 100 million voters, incredibly difficult. It is necessary also that each person had the electronic social card. In a word, while Russian Federation is not ready to so cardinal changes. However we have an ideal to which we will aspire.

Election commission of Tsentralny of the Russian Federation wishes to see
of what

of Representatives of professions as a part of precinct election commissions? One more question addressed to the distinguished guest was such. It appeared that the consensus on this subject is not present. One say that workers of precinct election commissions surely have to be lawyers, others speak in favor of professional programmers. Nevertheless the accountants which mind is ground for consecutive, logical work very well cope with work in the commission. And it is probably not so important, what profession was received by the person. The main thing that people it is interesting to them to be engaged in the organization of elections came to precinct election commissions, the secretary noted Election commission of Tsentralny of the Russian Federation.

It is much more convenient to it to visit this polling station which is in several minutes of walking from a student's hostel on the eighteenth of March. Therefore Sibirtseva Vera also wrote the application for vote in the location.


Apparently, Grishina Maia managed to get acquainted with our publication. Examining point of reception of statements on vote in the location, she asked to show it the registration magazine. Having seen in it a familiar surname, Grishina Maia asked about the student. The chairman of the precinct election commission Gryazeva Natalia reported that only in two days four voters expressed desire to vote in the location. At the same time the person who has taken away to home aged parents addressed. He asked to accept for them such statement at home.
