The decision about multi-day voting would have to take CEC or a relevant election Commission if the elections are held in the region or municipality.
this decision may be made not later than in ten days from the day of official publication (publication) of the decision on appointment of elections, referenda, and is not subject to revision, the document says. It is also permitted to vote the so-called mobile groups and outside polling stations, as it was at the all-Russian vote on the amendment of the Constitution — on the benches, etc.
