2023 in Elections: Russian Civic Chamber Releases Report on Its Election Observation Missions

The Russian Civic Chamber is a consultative civil society institution which addresses a wide range of issues.
The Russian Civic Chamber has released a report on its foreign election observation missions in 2023. Published on Wednesday, the report features conclusions made by Russian observers after visiting a number of countries over the world during their elections.
"The criteria of objectivity imposed by the West, which they do not apply to themselves, have already set the world majority's teeth on the edge," Pavel Andreev, a member of the Russian Central Electoral Commission, wrote in the report.
The countries analyzed include African ones as the Republic of the Congo, Senegal, Kenya, Angola and
Tunisia.
Interesting facts about the countries' voting systems published in the report:
Among all the countries analyzed in the report, in Guinea-Bissau, Zimbabwe, and Eswatini, voters have the most time to cast their ballots, with
polling stations open for 12 hours (7:00 AM to 7:00 PM).
Accessibility and Inclusivity
Guinea-Bissau offers an accessible voting method for illiterate voters, allowing them to cast their ballot by placing their fingerprint in a designated box.
Zimbabwe demonstrates commitment to inclusivity with specially adapted voting booths for people with disabilities at each polling station.
Many polling stations in Guinea-Bissau are located outdoors, making
voting susceptible to weather conditions. Additionally, the lack of a comprehensive system of street markings and building numbers can make it difficult to locate polling stations, often relying on landmarks like public buildings or the homes of well-known residents.
