Talk:Elections in Russia

message: Term Limits Incorrect?
The second sentence of this article seems to be wrong -"The president is elected for, at most, two consecutive six-year terms by the people (raised from four years from December 2008)."
This statement is at odds with the explanation of Russia's term limits in the Wikipedia article titled "President of Russia."
In the "President of Russia" article under "Selection process - Eligibility" it says:
"The Constitution of Russia contains a modified form of term limits on holders of the office: it does not limit the total number of terms that a President may serve, but places a limit on the number of successive terms (a person can hold office as President for two consecutive terms, but then is ineligible to serve again until sitting out one complete term)."
Does anyone know which it is? Putin's reign would suggest that the latter is true. I think it's important to be correct considering the current interest in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Anyone up to the task of researching in order to correct the article?   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.254.35.66 (talk) 17:52, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: They're obviously not fair: vote-rigging/ballot-stuffing; intimidation of the opposition; no media coverage of the opposition; and oppressive 'laws' to stop effective information gathering to check if fraud is going on during elections.Malick78 (talk) 22:05, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: In principle, for every election and every electoral constituency the number of ballots for each candidate is published, like this, however, the website of the Central Electoral Committee is not user friendly, and I am not sure it is easy to get all this info on one page.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:09, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  First of all, thank you for spending some time answering my question. Well, I do not read Russian, but do understand, that some election results on their website is sorted by jurisdictions. I would like to know in specific, whether it is possible to see votes from abroad? Talk/♥фĩłдωəß♥\Work 17:20, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  Since I am writing this from the Netherlands, I guess the answer is yes.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:30, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

replies: text:  I could not find them easily. Obviously one can vote abroad only at federal elections, and the poll stations are attached to one of the regional electoral committees, somewhere in Moscow. I tried to fins the results for the 2012 presidential elections, spent 10 minutes and failed. Sorry.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:16, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
