5 DOCUMENT OF THE COPENHAGEN MEETING OF THE CONFERENCE ON THE HUMAN DIMENSION OF THE CSCE (Copenhagen, 1990) (extract)

The representatives of the participating States of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE), Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Cyprus, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Finland, France, the German Democratic Republic, the Federal Republic of Germany, Greece, the Holy See, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Yugoslavia, met in Copenhagen from 5 to 29 June 1990, in accordance with the provisions relating to the Conference on the Human Dimension of the CSCE contained in the Concluding Document of the Vienna Follow-up Meeting of the CSCE. <…> In order to strengthen respect for, and enjoyment of, human rights and fundamental freedoms, to develop human contacts and to resolve issues of a related humanitarian character, the participating States agree on the following: <…> (8) The participating States consider that the presence of observers, both foreign and national, can enhance the electoral process for States in which elections are taking place. They therefore invite observers from any other CSCE participating States and any appropriate private institutions and organizations who may wish to do so to observe the course of their national election proceedings, to the extent permitted by law. They will also endeavour to facilitate similar access for election proceedings held below the national level. Such observers will undertake not to interfere in the electoral proceedings. <…>

7 Major Amendments and Additions to the Electoral Legislation Made in 2016–2017

2016 saw the revised rules for the conduct of the election campaign come into force. In particular, one of the major amendments is aimed at ensuring that no “fake” journalist infiltrates polling stations and that no one interferes with the work of election commissions. From now on, in order to work at an electoral station, journalists have to be accredited in a period of time from 55 to 3 days before the election day. Moreover, only a journalist who was hired by a publishing house earlier than 2 months before the official announcement of the date of the election day cab be accredited. Any interference with the work of election commission or with the voting process will be punished by a fine if no criminal basis is found. This fine will amount to 2,000–5,000 roubles for individuals and 20,000– 50,000 for officials. 1 June 2017 has saw the publication and coming into force of Federal Laws “on Amendments to the Federal Law on Presidential Election in the Russian Federation”, No. 103-FZ and “on Amendments to Particular Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation” No. 104-FZ. Federal Law No. 104-FZ introduces amendments to several laws, including the Federal Law “on basic guarantees of electoral rights and the right of citizens of the Russian Federation to participate in a referendum”.

Amendments Introduced by Federal Law No. 104-FZ: Early and absentee voting was replaced by a new voting mecha- nism – voting on the basis of an application for enrollment on the voters’ list at the place of temporary stay. Those voters away from their registration place on the election day have a right to submit an application for enrollment on the voters’ list at the place of their temporary stay directly to the election commission. The CEC of Russia established the appropriate procedure for submitting applications that introduces a time gap for submitting the application (within a time limit that begins no earlier than 45 days before the day of election and ends at 2.00 p.m. local time of the day preceding the day of election). The voter may submit such application online, through a Federal State Informational System “Public Services Portal of the Russian Federation” or in person through: • Any territorial election commission; • Any precinct election commission; • Any multi-service center (MFC).

8 In accordance with the Federal Law of 2 October 2012 No. 157-FZ, the electoral presincts were established for a period of 5 years. Federal Law No. 104-FZ provides that previously established electoral stations shall be deemed to run on a permanent basis, i.e. indefinitely. The corre- sponding rule came into force on 1 October, 2017. At the same time, the law introduces the provisions on possible dis- aggregation of electoral presincts, which implies specifying the list and boundaries of electoral presincts with the aim to reduce the maximum number of voters in electoral presinct down to 1,500 (applied since 1 October, 2017). In addition, since 1 May 2018, it is allowed to specify the list and boundaries of electoral presincts in order to increase the maximum number of voters in electoral presincts up to 3,000 voters, and to make the polling stations most convenient for voters, taking into account the construction of new apartment buildings and houses or the need to change the building of polling stations. Thus, the relevant provisions of Federal Law No. 67-FZ “Оn basic guarantees of electoral rights and the right of citizens of the Russian Federation to participate in a referendum” shall be applied only after the election of the President of the Russian Federation. The decision to specify the list of electoral presincts and (or) their borders for the purposes mentioned above may be taken as often as once in every five years. Such a decision shall be adopted beyond the period of the election campaign, and in exceptional cases – no later than 70 days before the day of election. Federal Law No. 104-FZ stipulates that if the term of office of the election commission expires during the election campaign, new election commission shall not be appointed until the day of official publication of the election results. This rule applies to both election commissions of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and all lower-level commissions, except for district election commission. The deadline for nomination of candidates for the election commission shall be 30 days and shall begin no earlier than the day of official publication of the results of election, referendum and end no later than 60 days after the official publication of the results of the election, referendum. The new election commission shall hold its first meeting within ten days after the end of the election, referendum campaign. Taking into account the law enforcement practice, Federal Law No. 67-FZ specifies the procedure for signing a signature sheet in support of nominated candidate and the list of candidates, and stipulates that address of voter’s place of residence may omit some details (name of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation, district, city or other

9 locality, street, house number and apartment), unless it affects its unam- biguous interpretation, given actual residence of the voter. The relevant amendments were made to the forms of signature sheets. As to the procedure for appointment of observers, federal law may provide exceptions to the general procedure. Thus, Federal Law No. 103-FZ stipulates that the election of the President of the Russian Federation does not require the use of law provisions that consider the appointment of no more than two observers per one electoral station, the appointment of a particular observer for a particular station, and advance submission of observers’ lists to the relevant election commission. In regards to the amendments to the Code of Administrative Of- fenses of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the Code of Administrative Offenses), it should be noted that Article 5.6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses “Violation of the Rights of a Member of Elec- tion (Referendum) Commission, Observer, Foreign (International) Ob- server, Accredited Agent or Authorized Representative of a candidate or Association, Member or Authorized representative of the Initiative Group or Other Group of Referendum Participants or Representative of the Mass Media” is deleted from the list of offences which must be doc- umented by police officials, and is included in the list of offences which must be initiated by public prosecutor, that is to say, is included in the exclusive competence of public prosecutor. In addition, Federal Law of 29 July 2017 No. 249-FZ added the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation with Article 142.2 “Unlawful Issue and Receipt of Voting Papers or Referendum Ballots”. According to the provisions of this article, if a member of election commission issues a ballot paper to a citizen (citizens) to grant him / them the opportunity to vote instead of other voters or to vote more than twice during the same voting, or issues a filled ballot paper, he/she shall be liable either to a fine in the amount of 200,000–500,000 roubles or in the amount of its wage, salary or other income for a period of eighteen months to three years, or to compulsory labour or detention for a period of up to 4 years. The receipt in the election commission of ballot papers to vote instead of voters or twice during the same voting, shall result in either a fine in the amount of 100,000–300,000 roubles or in the amount of its wage, salary or other income for a period of eighteen months to three years, or in compulsory labour or detention for a period of up to 3 years. Before this article was added into the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, administrative liability for so-called “carousel voting” was caped at 50,000 roubles.
