Practical Use

Video surveillance is expanding its position. More and more often video surveillance is used not only by businesses, and private individuals in-home surveillance, but also by government agencies. No one is surprised anymore by the use of video cameras in many public places for security purposes. Video surveillance has been approved by legislation. Today we will talk about video surveillance during elections.

CEC has set a total surveillance system

Russia’s latest election campaign was practically held under total video surveillance. Camera election observation became essential in order to avoid all kinds of election fraud and to maximize the transparency of the voting procedure. 

Participants of the electoral process can quickly view all details of election day, resolve disputed points, and have the necessary supporting facts available. Such possibilities make attempts to falsify the results of any election much more difficult.

Coverage and number of polling stations observed

A modern video surveillance system for elections is effective and secure. It is considererably functional in its capabilities. An online polling station camera will show the voter turnout in a particular polling station at any time. 

Today, the video surveillance system at polling stations covers about 98% of the total number of polling stations. This is more than 50.000 in the 85 regions of the country. Just over 5.5 thousand polling stations were video-recorded on election day, and more than 36 thousand were equipped with video recorders.

All these measures are also aimed at preventing cyber-attacks

How does video surveillance work during elections? 

The polling station cameras installed maintained a three-day online broadcast on the Central Electoral Commission’s portal of the RF. And that’s about seventy hours in total. 

The video files will be stored for one year. There was no open video broadcasting. Only participating parties, election commissions, and candidates in single-mandate districts were able to access the video footage on the CEC’s portal. This restriction was due to a financial issue. 

Parties were able to follow the voting process on five accounts, each displaying video from four polling stations. 

In addition to them, the elections were monitored in an online mode by 86 observation centers in the regions. They were not limited in the number of accounts. Such centers were organized by the Public Chamber at the expense of the budget. 

Faceter home-use system

It is not only government organizations that are actively integrating video monitoring into their operations. Ordinary people have long appreciated the vast possibilities of home surveillance functionality.
