It was not clarifying, but removal - the amendments massively abolished the status of a member of the commission with the right of an advisory vote of 1.5 thousand territorial and 95 thousand precinct commissions.

In December 2021, a bill on the regulation of remote electronic voting (DEG) was submitted to the State Duma. My colleagues and I sent a review to the State Duma, in which they gave a detailed assessment to the amendments, which are laid the basis for the DEG systems opaque and inaccessible for inspections and the application of systems and did not recommend the bill in the first reading.

Within the framework of the Voice forum*, it organizes the site "Elections and freedom of expression." We chose this particular topic in 2021, because freedom of expression is the main condition for the free formation of the will of voters.

As usual, in the night, a message appeared on the Ministry of Justice’s website that two new organizations are included in the register of media-regents: - LLC Honest Elections*. - Fund for the development of book culture "Irkutsk Union of Bibliophiles"*.

A decision that had to wait 10 years “Voice”* won the ECHR: the court admitted that the state violated the freedom of expression.

Solidarity should be not only in words, joint actions are needed. We turn to everyone who is not indifferent to the future of the country: NPOs, media, lawyers, politicians and all caring citizens.
