Putin signed a law allowing elections to be held in territories where martial law has been introduced

Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law allowing elections and referendums to be held in territories where martial law is in effect. This represents a significant change in the law, as previously established rules stipulated that elections would not be held under such conditions.

According to the new law, restrictions on the holding of elections or referendums in areas where martial law has been introduced will not apply if the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation (CEC of the Russian Federation) decides to call elections or a referendum following consultations with the Ministry of Defense and the Federal security service (FSB).

This move opens up new opportunities for holding elections in specific circumstances and may have an impact on the political processes in the country. However, it also raises some questions about how these elections will be organized and conducted given the limitations and complexities of martial law.
