The Moscow authorities will not allow provocations in the elections, the mayor of the capital said Sergei Sobyanin. On his website, he spoke in detail about the new voting procedure for Muscovites, not at the place of residence, which is called a "mobile voter". "The bottom line is that every person will be able to vote at any polling station if he has previously submitted an application to the territorial election commission, the MFC or through the state services website. Of course, you can vote only once, regardless of the number of applications submitted. An actual topic for the Moscow region, where millions of people actually live not at the place of registration. And hundreds of thousands live in the region, and work in Moscow, and vice versa, "- explains in his blog Sobyanin. However, this innovation has already given rise to fears in society that one voter can fulfill his civic duty in the upcoming elections several times. However, the mayor immediately warned the general unrest, specifying that the approved procedure will not lead to provocations and "carousels". "The reception of applications for voting not by place of residence ended 4 days ago. In order to avoid duplication, the CEC and the Mosgorizbirk have reconciled the lists of "mobile voters" over these days, "explained the Mayor, explaining the rules. According to them, "mobile voter" will be included in the list only in one section, which was specified in the first statement. In this case, all subsequent annulled. "Therefore, no matter how many coupons were received by these guys, they will be able to vote only once. To this end, electoral commissions also conducted a reconciliation of voter lists, "Sobyanin said, adding.

In addition, the mayor recalled the criminal responsibility for attempts of such provocations, writing that "there are enough provocateurs". "I have no doubt that according to the established" good "tradition, some people will try to arrange a show on election day. But to organize on March 18 real "carousels" will be impossible. I do not advise doing this. Cm. article 142. 2 of the Criminal Code, "- warned Sergei Sobyanin.
