The State Duma adopted a bill allowing the Central Election Commission to demand the blocking of sites with “illegal campaigning”
The State Duma, in the third reading, adopted a bill that allows the Central Election Commission (CEC) to demand that Roskomnadzor block sites with “illegal campaigning,” according to the website of the lower house of parliament. As Rossiyskaya Gazeta clarified, citing CEC Secretary Maya Grishina, we are talking about “planned, financed campaign events” that are not paid for from the candidate’s fund.
