The contract for the development of the Olympiad tasks was concluded by the Russian Center for Education in Electoral Technologies (RTsOIT) at the Central Election Commission, the Vedomosti newspaper reports, citing documents on the public procurement website. It will be executed for 38,000 rubles by Marmeladov LLC, a company mainly engaged in advising on commercial activities.

The Internet Olympiad dedicated to presidential elections is planned to be held among high school students. The event is aimed at raising the level of legal culture of young and future voters, follows from the consolidated plan of the main events of the RCOIT for 2017.

The CEC expects in a month to receive a set of 100 test questions with answers, in another 10 days - at least 1000 situational tasks with answers for the electronic version. Within two months from the date of the conclusion of the contract must be prepared guidelines on the implementation of the interactive version of the Olympiad. In the near future, the commission plans to clarify the conditions for holding the event, the press service of the CEC told the newspaper.

OOO "Marmeladov" was the only company that applied for the execution of the contract. Its general director, Olga Orekhva, refused to comment on the upcoming work to Vedomosti, noting that, according to the law, an entrepreneur can engage in any activity, if it is not prohibited. According to the public procurement website, in 2016 Marmeladov LLC signed four contracts for 457,500 rubles for the provision of security services, the development of a radioactive waste management project, and the development of an enterprise strategy.

According to Vedomosti, CEC Chairwoman Ella Pamfilova has repeatedly pointed out shortcomings in outreach during the 2016 State Duma elections. Among other things, this explained the low turnout of voters.

The CEC began to prepare for the presidential campaign in 2018 in advance. The commission is planning to develop a concept and program of outreach activities during the preparation and conduct of elections, as well as holding a competition among regional commissions for the best organization of such work.

According to political scientist Abbas Gallyamov, by doing so the CEC may be trying to increase turnout in the elections. It is difficult to achieve this with the help of agitation, because in the absence of a real choice, the voter usually reacts poorly to calls to come to the polling stations, the expert noted.

But if people can be persuaded that "everyone does it," then the desired effect can be achieved. For example, you can bet on the fact that only by participating in elections can you subsequently demand something from the authorities. This message can also be promoted through schoolchildren, the political scientist explained.

Last week, the media became aware that one of the key topics of the 2018 presidential campaign could be the image of the future of Russia. This issue will be worked out by Kremlin experts, sociologists, the Committee of Civil Initiatives (CGI), headed by the ex-Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation Alexei Kudrin, as well as participants in the All-Russian Civil Forum (OGF). Against this background, political scientist Andrei Kolesnikov said that the current regime in reality cannot have an image of the future, since its main goal is to preserve power and inherit it painlessly.

Russian presidential elections will be held in 2018. On April 12, the State Duma of the Russian Federation adopted in the first reading a package of amendments to the law "On the Election of the President of the Russian Federation", providing, in particular, the possibility of postponing the vote to March 18 - the day Crimea was annexed to Russia. According to the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, such a transfer could bring Putin an extra 2% of the vote in the elections.

Earlier, the media had repeatedly received information about the Kremlin's plans to ensure an unprecedented high turnout at presidential elections spring 2018.

At the same time, at the end of last month, analysts reported on the relationship between voter turnout and protest moods in society. According to the results of a study conducted by the Sigma Expert agency, it turned out that in the regions of Russia with a low turnout for the elections to the State Duma in September 2016, protest activity during the actions against corruption on March 26 turned out to be the highest.

It is also worth noting that a feature of the anti-corruption protests that took place in the Russian regions in March this year was the participation of a large number of schoolchildren and students. After that, many episodes got into the press pressure teachers of schools and universities against students in order to dissuade them from participating in such actions.

MOSCOW, April 4 - RIA Novosti. The presidential elections in Russia, held on March 18, were marked by the highest voter turnout in the last 10 years, although the current turnout is inferior to the campaigns of 1996, 2000 and 2008, according to a report by the Committee of Civil Initiatives (CGI) Alexei Kudrin.

Voting in the presidential elections in Russia took place on March 18. Voter turnout was 67.54%. The current President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin won with a score of 76.69% of the vote, according to the final data of the CEC, more than 56.4 million voters voted for him.

On Wednesday, OIG presented its final report on the monitoring of the current elections. The material was prepared by KGI experts Alexander Kynev, Arkady Lyubarev and Andrey Maksimov. The report is based on official data on election results, materials from research trips of experts, and information from open sources. Since the Kudrin Committee does not monitor polling stations, the experts in the report do not touch on the voting process, but analyze its results.

The turnout is not a record, but obviously high

"The elections of March 18, 2018 demonstrated, although not a record, but obviously high voter turnout, losing in turnout only to the presidential elections of 1996, 2000 and 2008," the report says.

The current elections with a turnout of 67.5% were marked by the most significant activity of voters in Russia over the past decade, indicate the KGI. Thus, the turnout in the 1996 presidential elections was 69.8% and 68.9% in the first and second rounds, respectively. In 2000, the same indicator was equal to 68.7%, and in 2008 - 69.8%. In 2004, the turnout was lower than the current one (64.4%), as in the last elections in 2012 (65.3%).

The experts also compared turnout rates in the regional context for the current and past presidential elections and noted a trend towards equalization of indicators across regions.

"The increase in voter turnout was not universal, it manifested itself in 54 regions out of 83 that existed in 2012. The decrease was observed primarily in a number of regions with traditionally high or ultra-high turnout," the report says.

We are talking, in particular, about such regions as Bashkortostan, Dagestan, Ingushetia, Karachay-Cherkessia, Mordovia, Tatarstan, Chechnya, Belgorod, Voronezh, Saratov, Tyumen regions, the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, experts specify.

“The strongest decline (by 11.8%) occurred in Mordovia. The decline in the Komi Republic (by 9.7%) is also very noticeable, probably related to the Gaiser case,” the authors of the report believe.

The leader in turnout increase was Kabardino-Balkaria (by 18.7%). The authors of the report also noted an increase of more than 10% in the Perm and Stavropol Territories, Bryansk, Vladimir and Magadan Regions.

"In Moscow and St. Petersburg, the increase in turnout (1.6%) turned out to be less than the Russian average, despite the great efforts of the city authorities. Probably, the boycott campaign organized by the non-systemic opposition played a role," KGI experts suggest.

They also note that "a new territorial gap has emerged in the voting results of the regions Far East manifested simultaneously in a reduced turnout and support for the authorities, with a simultaneous increased vote for a key opposition candidate".

"Obviously, in the conditions of extreme remoteness from Moscow and "measured" standard management methods do not find sufficient support, and the mechanisms of electoral mobilization work clearly weaker," the report says.

Without absentee ballots

The OIG emphasizes that this time the high turnout was accompanied by a serious reduction in the rate of voting at home - the level of outbound voting in the country as a whole decreased compared to 2012 from 8.2 to 6.5%. The decrease in this indicator occurred in most regions, the percentage of mobile voting also decreased in the regions that were leaders in this issue in 2012: then in 10 regions the level of mobile voting exceeded 13.5%.

"This time, the highest level (13.3%) was observed in the Penza region, followed by Pskov (13.1%), Voronezh (12.3%), Oryol (12.1%) and Tambov (12.0%). ) regions. Nevertheless, the level of mobile voting in the leading regions should be considered high," the report says.

The high value of voting at home is usually considered by experts as risky for ensuring the secrecy and reliability of voting, reminded the OIG, the decrease in this indicator is positive. However, experts fear that the newly created system of voting at the place of residence on a declarative basis, which has replaced the institution of absentee ballots, may become a source of new risks.

“The possibilities for analyzing its manifestations and effects are still limited, and understanding the mechanisms of movement of applications and changes in voter lists requires more accurate static information. The new procedure has shown its usefulness for a significant number of voters, but in many respects it needs to be improved,” the OIG is sure.

The Committee's experts refer to the data on the number of applications in the context of polling stations for each of the regions, which were accumulated by the "Golos" movement. The CCI indicates that in most regions, according to the new mechanism, more voters were unlinked than attached, with the exception of 18 regions where the opposite trend was observed. The authors of the report note that the most understandable is the predominance of those who are attached in Moscow, the Moscow region and three resort regions - Crimea, Sevastopol, Krasnodar Territory.

On the other hand, the Committee’s experts point out that “the prevalence of withdrawals in St. Petersburg is surprising,” they point out that one of the Telegram channels even suggested that about 100,000 residents of St. they are led to other regions in order to increase the turnout rate in the northern capital."

"The highest share of unattached (13.0%) is in Tyva, and the highest share of unattached (15.8%) is in Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. A high level of electoral migration is also in Buryatia (7.2% of unattached and 7.9% of unattached ), Yakutia (9.4% and 10.4%), the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (6.6% and 10.0%), the already mentioned St. Petersburg (8.7% and 11.5%) and the Leningrad Region (9.4% and 6.3%)," the report says.

Inconsistencies in the list of voters

Committee experts note that problems with the number of voters arise in all federal elections. In their report, they provide, in particular, data on the number of voters at the start and end of voting by region.

“It can be seen that in a small number of regions the number of voters on voting day has decreased. These are the republics of Dagestan, Ingushetia and Kabardino-Balkaria, as well as the Saratov region. It can be assumed that the number of voters decreased purposefully to increase the turnout rate,” the authors of the report believe.

In other regions, the number of voters in the lists by the end of voting, according to the KGI, increased. At the same time, the most significant growth was recorded by experts in Sevastopol (by 3.6%), St. Petersburg (3.1%), Moscow Region (3.1%), Buryatia (3.0%), Krasnoyarsk (2.8%) and Kamchatka Territories (2.7%), Moscow (2.7%), Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug (2.6%), North Ossetia (2.3%), Chuvashia (2.1%) and Kaliningrad region (2,1%).

The authors of the report point out that in some regions, such as Sevastopol and the Kaliningrad region, this phenomenon can be explained by the voting of military personnel, "although there are no legal obstacles to their number being taken into account before voting begins."

"The most reasonable explanation for most regions is that many voters were not included in the lists (or wrongfully excluded during their feverish" purge "). According to information from PEC members, there really were many of them. At the same time, some voters are repeatedly absent from lists, but the system is designed in such a way that information about such voters does not reach the TEC, which maintains the register," the report says.

Gone and invalid ballots

Quite often, the protocols of precinct commissions reveal a difference between the number of ballots given to voters and the number of ballots in the ballot boxes, experts say. This may indicate the number of ballots carried away by voters, which the law does not prohibit them from doing, they specify.

In the current elections, the difference between the number of ballots issued and found in the boxes turned out to be zero in the vast majority of polling stations (more than 87.1 thousand polling stations), the report says. At 10.3 thousand polling stations, this difference ranged from one to 10 ballots, "which can be considered within reason," the KGI notes.

"But at 710 polling stations the carry-over exceeded 10 ballots, and at 392 polling stations it exceeded 20, at 163 - 50 and at 58 - exceeded 100. Such results raise well-founded doubts, and it can be said with a high degree of certainty that they indicate either errors , or about deliberate manipulations, for example, aimed at increasing the turnout rate," the report says.

As for the percentage of invalid ballots, it is traditionally low in the presidential elections, experts of the committee note. "In 2008, it was 1.4%, in 2012 - 1.2%. The current elections were no exception - the total share of invalid ballots was 1.08%," the KGI material says.

The situation varies by region in this regard; The highest proportions of invalid ballots were in four Far Eastern regions — Sakhalin Oblast (1.72%), Jewish Autonomous Oblast (1.71%), Khabarovsk Territory (1.69%) and Primorsky Territory (1.61%), experts point out .

"An extremely low value of the share of invalid ballots was recorded in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic (0.13%), which, in relation to this region, is also accompanied by the most high rates turnout, which cannot but arouse suspicion. Four other Caucasian republics also showed low values ​​- Dagestan (0.44%), Ingushetia (0.40%), Karachay-Cherkess (0.43%) and Chechen (0.38%)," the report says.

The Russian Center for Education in Electoral Technologies (RCET) under the CEC signed a contract to develop Olympiad tasks for holding an Internet Olympiad dedicated to presidential elections among high school students. This follows from documents published on the public procurement website. The event is aimed at raising the level of legal culture of young and future voters, says the consolidated plan of the main events of the RCOIT for this year.

Development of Olympiad tasks for 38,000 rubles. Marmeladov LLC, a company whose main activity is, according to the SPARK-Interfax database, is consulting on commercial activities. She was the only one who applied. In 2016, according to the public procurement website, the company signed four contracts for 457,500 rubles. – for the provision of services in the field of security, the development of a project for the management of radioactive waste, the development of an enterprise strategy. Olga Orekhva, general director of Marmeladov LLC, said that she could not comment on the upcoming work, since it had not yet begun, but according to the law, an entrepreneur can engage in any activity if it is not prohibited. Meanwhile, in a month, the CEC expects to receive a set of 100 test questions with answers, in another 10 days - at least 1000 situational tasks with answers for the electronic version, and within two months from the date of the contract, methodological recommendations should be prepared for the implementation of the interactive version of the Olympiad . The commission plans to clarify the conditions for holding the Olympiad in the near future, the press service of the CEC reported.

Test passed early

In 2014, RTSOTI held in test mode an Internet Olympiad on elections among schoolchildren in order to develop proposals for the Ministry of Education and Science to include the event in the list of All-Russian Olympiads.

CEC Chairman Ella Pamfilova has repeatedly noted shortcomings in information and explanatory work during parliamentary elections 2016: the new composition of the CEC joined it literally from the wheels and there was not enough time for a thorough preparation of the information campaign. This, among other things, explained the not very active voter turnout. The Central Election Commission began to prepare for the presidential campaign in advance: the commission plans to develop a concept and program of information and explanatory work during the preparation and conduct of elections, to hold a competition among regional commissions for the best organization of such work. We didn't forget about the students either. Political scientist Abbas Gallyamov says that it is difficult to raise the turnout with the help of campaigning: as practice shows, in the absence of a real choice, the voter usually reacts poorly to calls to come to the polling stations. But theoretically, the effect can be achieved if people can be persuaded that "everyone does it." Much here depends on how well the main message of the campaign is chosen, he argues, for example, you can bet on the fact that only by participating in elections, you can subsequently demand something from the authorities. And if this is part of a large campaign, then work with schoolchildren may well become one of the channels for promoting the main message: high school students do not vote, but they can draw the attention of their parents to the elections.
