For voting on amendments to the Constitution, you can get 5,000 rubles, and this is not a bribe?
Less than 2 weeks remain (at the time of writing this article) before the start of voting on amendments to the Constitution, which provoked a stormy reaction in society. This is a very important vote for state leaders, which is not particularly hidden. All amendments have already been adopted and completed, it remains only to consolidate them after the announcement of the voting results.
It is important for the authorities that the turnout should be as many people as possible, in connection with which they began to come up with programs to encourage citizens to participate in the referendum. How is the country preparing for the referendum?
5000 rubles for voting
The abrupt cancellation of most restrictive (Covid-19) measures in Moscow was a very significant moment, since the country's largest region needs to be prepared for voting. Most likely, by June 22, almost all regions will mitigate quarantine measures. Early voting on amendments to the Constitution will begin on June 25 and will last until the main date - July 1.
And exactly on the day the voting begins, a program called the Million Prizes, called subsidizing consumer demand, is launched. True, so far only in Moscow, but it is possible that such a program will be announced in other regions of the country. About 2 million certificates will be allocated for residents of Moscow, with the help of which it will be possible to pay for goods and services. Thus, two million residents of the capital can receive such certificates. But this is a certain lottery. And in order to qualify for a certificate, you just need to vote in a referendum.
To obtain a certificate in the amount of 5000 rubles, you need to go to the polling station, where the participant will be given a special code confirming the citizen's participation in the rally. Such codes are given on the Active Citizen portal, and a lottery will be drawn on it. It is planned to issue 2 million certificates, while the total amount allocated for these purposes is 10 billion rubles.
If the participant is among the winners, then the prize will be credited in the form of bonuses (or points) that can be spent before the end of the year. These bonuses can be used to purchase goods or services in stores, restaurants, transport, etc., i.e. in companies that participate in the program. These are capital companies, as a rule, representatives of small and medium-sized businesses. You can spend points in about three thousand Moscow companies.
You can vote FOR, you can AGAINST, or you can just ruin the ballot.
But officials understand that most of those who are against the amendments will most likely not even go to the polls. Thus, most of those who will participate are likely to vote FOR. That is why they decided to stimulate people to go to the polls, since a positive result with a large turnout will remove all questions about this.
