Online elections depend on the CEC and the Council
Online elections require the parliament to vote on amendments to the election law, the CEC to adopt many regulations, to work on the voter register,
- the minister declared.
He added that the Ministry of Education does not administer the voter register, which is the basis for elections. In addition, the department cannot implement the project without the adopted regulatory framework. “Without the relevant law or resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers. Because it is financing the project, because it is the implementation of the plan,” – said the official.
Fedorov noted that a clear algorithm is needed: the CEC, laws. However, if technical assistance from the ministry or expertise is needed, assistance will be provided.
The prospect of online voting in 2024
As for whether it is possible to hold online elections in 2024, Fedorov clarified that it is necessary to work with the CEC and international partners on the audit, and with the parliament – on the legislative field.
Here the issue is not even technological, but legislative. That’s why I can’t answer this question so easily,
Said the Minister.
He also summed up that there is an algorithm that must be followed.
