The main innovation in presidential elections is not politicized observation, Secretary of the Public Chamber Valery Fadeyev said during his visit to UrFU.

"Observers and before from parties were. Innovation in strengthening civil influence on the results of voting. This is a democratic norm and Vladimir Putin spoke about it, "the official said..

At each polling station in the country there should be at least two observers from the public. The meetings with representatives of regional election commissions and public chambers discuss the details of preparations for elections.

"There are many questions, starting from what color the observer's plate should be and whether it should be approved by the Central Election Commission. In addition, what should be their mandates. Many regional Public Chambers do not have seals, and with what paper will the observer come to the site? ", - said Fadeyev.

For the volunteers, the "Gold Standard" has been prepared - a list of what they should mark on the sites.

It includes about 40 items. Teaching wishing will also be to extraordinary situations.

"In past years, it happened that during the counting of votes on the site, the light turns off. And our colleagues say, "And we know, we'll bring a flashlight with us". Such freelance situations will also be included in the training process, "the secretary of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation.

The presidential election will be held on March 18, 2018.
