About this statute

This provision sets the basic rules for the Russian Federation referendum, including secret voting, equal participation, citizen eligibility, and the procedures for starting a referendum initiative. Signature sheets for a referendum are checked, and signatures may be treated as valid, invalid, or undependable. Some cases are invalid by rule, and the Central Election Commission makes the result decision. The provision sets rules for referral and response to referendum-law violations, observer appointments and limits, foreign observer accreditation, media access, precinct formation, voter lists, and referendum funding. The referendum campaign groups must use a special referendum fund and follow strict rules on donations, spending, accounting, reporting, and permitted campaign activity. Campaigning rules for a referendum are restricted in time, place, media use, and campaign materials.
