On Friday, a powerful flare occurred on the Sun. The inhabitants of the Earth will feel its impact next Sunday, when elections to the Moscow parliament take place. The peak of the magnetic storm will occur precisely on December 4, which may well affect voter turnout: solar disturbances can affect the health of weather-sensitive citizens. The operation of electronic equipment is also at risk. No matter how the devices of the new GAS “Elections” system fail: 20% of polling stations in Moscow will be equipped with an automated vote counting system.
