I don’t live in Russia, but I want to vote in the elections. What to do? — Meduza
1
Oh, I don’t follow politics very much. What else is an election? nine0005
To the State Duma of Russia. In total, 450 deputies will get into the parliament: 225 people will go through party lists and the same number in single-member districts. The elections will be held on September 18, but Russians who live abroad can vote early. In some countries, for example, in Norway, voting has already begun. There will be no early voting in Russia.
Also on September 18, elections of heads of seven regions, deputies of 39 regional parliaments will be held; in two more regions, deputies will elect the heads of the subjects of the federation. nine0003

If I am in Russia, do I just have to come to the polling station on September 18?
Yes. Just don’t forget your passport.
3
And if I am not in Russia on September 18, will I be able to vote?
You can, but only in the elections to the State Duma – you will not be able to choose regional authorities. The procedure for voting abroad depends on certain circumstances. For example, whether you live abroad permanently or just left Russia for a few days. If you live abroad or are on a long business trip (more than three months), you can vote at a polling station in your country of residence. You will need a passport and a document that entitles you to a long-term stay abroad. The embassy staff will include you in the voter lists.

If you have gone abroad for a few days, you will need an absentee ballot. This is a document that allows you to vote at any polling station; You need to receive it in advance at the polling station at the place of your registration. If you do not know the address of your PEC, you can look here.
Russian servicemen and their relatives living on the territory of military units outside Russia will be included in the voting lists based on information provided by the unit commander. nine0003

Where to go?
Most likely, the polling station will operate on the territory of an embassy or military unit abroad. Where exactly – you can find out in the Russian diplomatic missions; the list of phone numbers and addresses can be downloaded from this link (.doc).
5
You said something about “single-member constituencies” – what is that?
This is the name of the territory whose inhabitants elect their deputy to the parliament. A single-mandate deputy will represent their interests in the State Duma.
Single-member districts were not voted in the 2007 and 2011 elections, but now Russia has returned to a mixed electoral system. nine0161
If you vote abroad with an absentee ballot, you will not have a ballot with single-mandate members. You can only vote for parties.
6
And if I live abroad, do I have the right to choose single-members?
Yes. Citizens voting abroad were assigned by the Central Election Commission to 75 single-mandate constituencies scattered across 30 Russian regions. To understand which single-member district is voted for in your country, you need to look at the plate (.doc).
There is no geographical logic in the breakdown of districts; The Central Election Commission focused on the number of voters. Russians in the United States, for example, will choose single-mandate members along with residents of several districts in Moscow and the Samara region. In Germany, Russian citizens can vote for single-mandate candidates who will represent St.
