📋 Tender Overview
Rostelecom has completed the installation of video surveillance equipment for the elections, which will be held from September 6 to 8, 2024. The provider's specialists installed more than 9,000 modern video surveillance cameras in the premises of precinct election commissions (PECs) and territorial election commissions (TECs) in 15 regions of Russia. Video surveillance during the elections will ensure additional openness and transparency of the entire electoral process.
At each video surveillance site, Rostelecom installed two compact IP cameras with a wide viewing angle and a memory card, an access switch, a vandal-proof cabinet and an uninterruptible power supply with an autonomous operating time of at least 20 minutes. The surveillance cameras' field of view include the workplaces of members of election commissions with lists, ballot boxes, safe packages, ballot issuance areas and final vote counting areas. The cameras are installed in such a way as to minimize blind spots without violating voters' right to secrecy of voting.
The broadcast from CCTV cameras will be conducted on a special service portal from the first day of voting until the end of the election procedures. Access to it will be granted to participants in the election process, determined by the Central Election Commission of Russia. The entrance to the broadcast portal is carried out through the personal account of the participant in the election process on Gosuslugi. The archive of video recordings will be stored for three months.
For collective viewing, Rostelecom installed special video walls in the Public Observation Centers, consisting of several video panels, onto which images from video surveillance objects will be transmitted. Voters, party representatives, candidates and journalists can observe the voting process in real time.
When organizing video surveillance, transmitting and storing video recordings, Rostelecom uses its own protected high-speed optical communication channels and data processing centers distributed throughout Russia. They are equipped with the latest systems of protection against hacker and cyber attacks, which have proven their effectiveness.
