Voters from several subjects of the Russian Federation will vote for the heads of their regions in Moscow using updated electronic terminals. They will be installed at all 14 extraterritorial polling stations that will operate in the capital from September 12 to 14.

An electronic voting terminal is a mini-computer with which a voter receives an anonymous digital ballot, marks it for the desired candidate, and sends his vote to the system. Each device is protected by a number of technologies and algorithms. All of them help make voting not only convenient and fast, but also completely protected from possible provocations.

For the upcoming elections The capital's specialists have prepared terminals that have become even more functional compared to those used in previous elections in Moscow. Built-in uninterruptible power supplies will ensure stable operation even in the event of voltage surges or power outages.

Before the ballot is displayed on the screen, the device will check the match between the voter's passport data and the electronic voting list. The main pages of the document will need to be scanned on the terminal. The system will recognize the passport data and compare it with the information from the electronic voting list, and will also prompt the user to check the correctness of the address displayed on the screen.

In addition, several signs will be used to verify that the citizen has presented an original document. To confirm identity, the voter will have to sign in a special terminal window. This will make sure that the real owner of the passport is voting.

Another new feature of the devices will help keep the vote secret from other people at the polling station. When you switch to the digital ballot, darkening curtains will automatically turn on on the screen. Thanks to them, no one from the outside will be able to see who exactly the voter is voting for.

If users have any questions about working with the terminal, they can ask members of the election commissions located at the polling stations. At any stage, they will help guests of the capital who have not voted using terminals before.

Voting for residents of a number of regions of the country where elections for governors and heads of republics have been scheduled will be organized in Moscow at the request of the Central Electoral Commission of the Russian Federation.
