🇷🇺 SOVINTERN at the elections in Russia. Regional coordinators of the network act as observers at the elections to the State Duma of the Russian Federation 🗳️ On September 18, elections to the lower house of parliament began in Russia and will last until Sunday, September 20. Voting is taking place in a mixed format: using paper ballots at polling stations and electronically. Elections to the State Duma of the Russian Federation are built on a mixed system: 225 deputies are elected by party lists under a proportional system, and 225 in single-mandate constituencies under a majoritarian system. This makes it possible to balance the opportunities of large parties and individual local leaders to be elected to the legislative body. ⭐️ Coordinators of SOVINTERN's regional hubs have come to Russia as international observers. Their delegation visited polling stations in the Moscow region. They noted the high level of organization of the electoral process and the broad opportunities for Russian citizens to express their will. 🎙 SOVINTERN Regional Coordinator for Asia Nabil Hallak gave an interview to local media, in which he noted that despite considerable pressure from unfriendly Western states, Russia is making serious efforts to ensure the population's participation in the political process. In his words, the whole world should take example from Russia in this regard. #SOVINTERN_NET #Moscow_hub ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
