“I don't know about this.
We know that in the context of a pandemic, we have already, let's say, carried out similar activities, ”said Peskov.
He noted that the Central Election Commission of Russia and the Russian sanitary authorities have "gained experience" in conducting voting against the backdrop of a pandemic.
Peskov clarified that he means voting on amendments to the Constitution.
“Then, as a result of the measures taken, it was possible to ensure the sanitary safety of the voting process.
Therefore, we have experience that allows us to hedge all risks, ”the Kremlin spokesman said.
He also stressed that "the electoral process, of course, is better not to be influenced by circumstances somehow."
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on the appointment of elections to the State Duma on September 19.
