An ex-deputy who voted twice on amendments to the Constitution was fined 30 thousand rubles

A court in Vologda fined ex-deputy of the legislative assembly Yevgeny Domozhirov for 30,000 rubles, who voted twice in the voting on amendments to the constitution. This is reported by the publication "Mediazona".

Domozhirov was found guilty of illegally obtaining a ballot (Article 5.22 of the Code of Administrative Offenses). The reason was a video in which he voted twice in the “all-Russian vote”. On July 6, Domozhirov was interrogated under Article 142.2 of the Criminal Code (falsification of election documents).

• On June 26, the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Moscow opened an administrative case on the illegal issuance and receipt of a ballot paper (Article 5.22 of the Code of Administrative Offenses) because of the “video clip“ How to vote twice ””. We are talking about the plot of the Dozhd TV channel, in which the host Pavel Lobkov voted twice on the amendments.
• On March 11, the State Duma approved the draft law on amendments to the Constitution, initiated by Vladimir Putin. Before that, the President supported the amendment of Deputy Valentina Tereshkova, who proposed to give the President the opportunity to run for two new terms after the adoption of amendments to the Constitution. Sobyanin called the ban on Putin being elected "a destabilizing factor." The amendments are planned to be approved at a nationwide vote, the main stage of which took place on July 1, 2020.
• According to the CEC, almost 78% of Russians supported the amendments to the Constitution. Sergey Shpilkin, a researcher of Russian election statistics, spoke to the independent media Proekt about possible fraud.
