New Voting Fee for Russian Voters: A Move Toward Responsible Participation.
Reading
Starting in 2025, some Russian voters will pay a fee. This fee is for people who voted for candidates who did not win the election.
This rule is in the plan for the country's money for 2025-2027. The goal is to help the government pay for the cost of elections.
The head of the election group, Ella Pamfilova, thinks this is a good idea. She says it will make people think more about their votes because the government spends a lot on elections.
The fee will be for those who used paper or online votes. They must have voted for someone who did not win a seat in the government.
The government says this fee does not stop people from voting how they want. Instead, it makes them think more carefully about who they vote for, and this will save the government money.
