This is russia 24, right now the main facts of this day, in the studio georgi podgorny and natalya litovskaya, of course, we start with the main topic of this day in russia the elections, the first of three days of voting, already if we refer to the data of the Central Election Commission, which we can receive almost live, each of them can familiarize themselves with them, because at the moment the turnout in these elections, by 16 00 on the first day , already exceeds 23 by. Here is the analytics presented by the Electoral Commission center, we can see where voting is most active , including among leaders, including the far east. Yes, well, this is understandable, because the first day of voting in the far east in regions of our large, huge country has ended in some regions, due to the fact that evening has simply set in there, and in some places even night, so we see that in the far east there is a turnout. Protection from hacker attacks, we had to wait a little to be able to vote, everything was fast, simple and as transparent as possible, well, we were also counted in this turnout, which of course is different, which of course. We know that polling stations opened today throughout the country, the first ones started working in its still 11 p. M. Moscow time, were talking about kamchatka and chukotka, but today at 9 a. M. Sites opened in the westernmost region of russia, here of course we mean. At 9 am moscow time, polling stations opened in the kaliningrad region, voting will last until 20 oclock on march 17, and we also know that almost 2,600,000 russians took part in the president ial elections of the Russian Federation ahead of schedule, these are the numbers, well , i would like to note that that the ural Federal District is among the leaders in appearance so far, as is the yamalneninets autonomous district, almost 40 showed up at the polling station, for example. 26 of voters voted in the autonomous district, which is also an absolutely excellent indicator. In the chelyabinsk region, 18. 39 of voters voted at polling stations, and almost half voted remotely, 47 of the number who submitted an application in order to be able to use remote electronic voting, this form was used by dec, and 227 people used it, and this is approximately 9 . Chukotka showed the largest turnout, based on the results of the first day 64 of voters made their choice; by the way, in 2018, when the president ial elections were held on the same day, the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug was also the leader in turnout, then it exceeded 82 . What else do we know . They voted actively on the first day in the magadan region, the turnout was almost 48 . In buryati, the turnout in the Federal District is still the most modest, just over 33 , however, of course, it is too early to draw conclusions, many are going to vote on saturday and sunday, simply because they work today, i would like to separately note republic of tva, where the figure is more than 43 , and this is just for the first day of voting, given that today is a working day, weekdays, there will be a lot of time ahead for people to visit polling stations or use them again. 24 7 for a long time to the Central Election Commission, an Information Center has been opened there, where our colleague dmitry gord works today, we have the opportunity to communicate with him, join live, dmitry, welcome, how voting is underway, how do the Central Election Commission generally react to these turnout figures, to some data about possible violations and even possible provocations at polling stations, in general, tell us. What information do you have . Yes , colleagues, i greet you, i, too, by the way, will join in and say that i voted, today i , like georgy, chose the electronic voting method, however, on the Government Services website, i also didnt have any problems with it, although throughout the day there were some, well, its probably impossible to call it interruptions due to overload, most likely, of the network, out of a large number of people who want to take part in this particular method of voting, it is possible that more people will do it, i will also note that this applies. Regions, you have already mentioned many, about the far east, about the central part of russia, about our westernmost region, but of course, in this regard, it is important to mention our new russian regions, zaporozhye, kherson region, donetsk peoples republic, lugansk peoples republic, where also the residents of these regions express very great interest, this is their first president ial election in russia as part of the country and. The donetsk peoples republic is among the leaders in general among russian regions in terms of voter turnout, but as for your main question, probably, yes, which interests most of us, perhaps ours population of our country, then of course the reaction to various violations is their presence in general, yes they exist, unfortunately, they cannot do without it, there are incidents, there is provocation, our belgorod region, for example, is under fire. From the very morning west and there is nothing to hide here, but he is taking various paths, various methods in order to somehow disrupt these elections, to interfere in them, to prevent people from making their choice, Cyber Attacks are no exception, of course, the day before it was reported about mass dedios attacks on various russian resources, which are also related to ensuring highquality expression of will and the correct yes. And this morning these same attacks were also registered, let s listen, ponfilova spoke about this today, this morning there was the strongest a cyber attack on in general, for example , our Video Surveillance system in the tyumen region , the external is very professional, this is already the level of the special services, forgive me, this is not some. The west, in fact, this marked its loss, thats it, with all its might , as they say, just to do harm. Forms of voting methods according to the assessments of the Central Election Commission and experts, including international ones, gives citizens the opportunity to comfortably approach the decision being made, and we know that in advance we had the opportunity register and take part in early voting for residents of remote territories, turnout on the first day of voting is confirmation of this, and has already exceeded 23. Most likely he will be able to bear criminal liability for this, since this implies such a violation of the law, he tried to record his mobile phone, what he did, but lets still leave the investigation on this undoubtedly important moment for Law Enforcement agencies, well, at the moment this is the information, well try today we will also talk to ela alexandrovna , she promised to.
