registry are the bodies in charge of registering citizens at their residence and issuing/
changing local passports – currently it’s the Federal Migration Service. There are also
Civil Registry offices, bodies of military conscription, penitentiary bodies and courts.
At preset intervals these bodies submit to the head of local administration (municipality)
the information on changes in place of residence, issued or changed
passport, citizen’s death, conscription to military service, incarceration or passing
of a court decision on incapability of a citizen. The head of the local administration
in turn submits consolidated data to the election commission which accounts
for the voter or excludes the voter from the lists.
Let’s say, a citizen moved into a certain territory - the information about it is
transferred by the Federal Migration Service (FMS) to the municipality, which informs
the election commission that includes the person as a voter. If the citizen
checked out to live someplace else or death is registered the information is transferred
to the head of local administration and then to the election commission
and the citizen is taken off the registry. Same way a citizen is excluded from voter
registry if the information is received that he/she is serving a court sentence or is
declared incapable by court.
Of course the election commissions have to process enormous amounts of information.
To give you an idea, in Moscow City alone about 100,000 entries are
transferred each month; the number of entries processed in the Russian Federation
over a month may be over 1 Million, whereas no mistakes are admissible
in processing. Each territorial election commission (TEC) maintains the Federal
Voter Registry consolidating information regarding all voters in the Russian Federation.
Today the Registry contains 107 million entries and it is being updated
based on the information received by election commissions.
At least quarterly the information is submitted by territorial level to the region
(level of the Subject of the Russian Federation) and then to the federal level. This
procedure is primarily there to eliminate double entries (when one voter may
appear in two voter registries, let’s say, in Moscow and St. Petersburg). This way,
we have updated information about all voters in Russia at the territorial, regional
and federal levels.
The Voter Registry data can be used in the operation of election commissions,
e.g., to verify information about those who signed lists in support of candidates/
