Muscovites will be able to vote in the 2016 elections through the Internet. “We will be technologically ready to conduct electronic elections in 2016 and we will offer such opportunity,” the head of the city’s information technologies department Artem Ermolaev told Russian news agency RIA Novosti.
“However, the people are not mentally ready yet to make a massive switch to electonic voting,” Ermolaev noted.
Electronic services for citizens and businesses are part of an $11 billion informatization program that was preliminarily adopted last month by the Moscow government.
