The Belgorod police handed a warning to Andrey Borzykh, a member of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, about the inadmissibility of holding uncoordinated actions after he applied for a picket against the introduction of electronic voting in the region. This is reported by "7 × 7".
The Belgorod City Hall had previously refused to approve the picket, citing restrictions on public events due to the coronavirus pandemic. Borzykh said that he would not hold the action.
- Earlier, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation refused to recognize the results of the electronic voting in Moscow, this was announced by the deputy chairman of the Central Committee of the party, Dmitry Novikov. According to him, "the party saw how the picture changed after the digital result was thrown out." After that, the Communist Party called on its supporters to go to protests, and party leader Gennady Zyuganov said that it was necessary to "defend the election results, as the Podolsk cadets defended Moscow."
- On September 17-19, three-day voting took place in Russia at elections of various levels. All these days we have been monitoring violations: how observers were removed from the polling stations, not allowed to enter them, detained and used force against them.
