For the chairman of the electoral commission of electoral district no. 2390 Podolsk, Alexander Proshin, the plan for this day is 12 villages. In total, there are 24 remote settlements in Podolsk, whose residents will receive the ballot boxes literally at their homes. It was decided that residents of distant towns would vote on September 8 and 9. This work was not postponed until the last day of the elections: on September 10, the largest influx of voters is expected at the fixed polling stations. For this reason, yesterday representatives of the PEC visited 12 locations with the ballot boxes and left 12 for today.
“With the help of the village elders, we collected applications in advance from those who find it difficult to walk far, so we go directly to the homes of many voters. The elders are very kind, they thank us and invite us to “Eat apples, fruits, and vegetables from their gardens,” says Proshin. And if there are young people in the town who are voting for the first time in these elections, the PEC members bring them gifts: chocolates and tickets to the skating rink in the park. Podolsk Grand. Tickets will be available for use next winter.
In the village of Grivno, the bus is waiting for the head of the village, Nina Pechagina. She leads the representatives of the district commission to 90-year-old Lyubov Tikhomirova and 85-year-old Anatoly Golyshev. Along the way she explains to us: “Of course, there are people in town who don’t want to vote, but in general our neighbors are active and are looking forward to seeing you.” “We need to vote, because how we will live in the future depends on it,” Anatoly Golyshev is sure.
