The election of the mayor is one of the most important events in the life of the city. Since each mayor has his own team of people with a wide variety of knowledge and skills, it is safe to say that you choose not so much the mayor as the further path of development of the city.
So how to vote in the mayoral election?
Instruction manual
1
Decide on the candidate. Look at the life story of each candidate, study their plans and promises. Based on these data, make your choice. If you can not decide, talk with your friends and relatives, maybe they can help you in choosing.
2
Find out the venue. Each person is “tied” to his polling station, voting on the other is possible only when applying (see step 3).
To find out the address of your polling station, go to the official website of the CEC of the Russian Federation (link below), click the "Find your polling station" button and select your place of residence. After that, the site will display the address of your polling station, the date of voting and contact information.
3
Change your polling station (for those who want to vote outside the place of registration). To do this, you must come with your passport to the nearest polling station and inform that you are registered in another place and cannot receive an absentee ballot.
After that, they will give you a standard application form, filling out which you will be added to the list of voters at the new polling station, deleted from the old one.
Please note that the commission’s working hours may be inconvenient, so it’s best to do everything in advance.
4
On the indicated day, come with a passport to your polling station. Following the signs, go to the election commission, sign and take the ballot.
5
Go to the voting booth. Mark the candidate you want to vote for. It is impossible to put several marks, otherwise the ballot will be considered invalid.
If there is no pen in the booth or she does not write, ask her from nearby observers, this is their job.
6
Put the ballot in a special hole in the ballot box. Done! You have successfully voted for your candidate.
Useful advice
If at the time of voting you will be outside Russia, a few days before the election, visit the Russian consulate, where you can vote.
