All candidates running for the governor of the Moscow Region must disclose in media outlets any income and property that is registered in their name or in the name of a family member. This requirement is part of standard transparency rules as reported by DEA News, ensuring voters can assess potential financial conflicts of interest before the election unfolds.
The election calendar for the Moscow Region governor race sets out a clear sequence: once the election commission of the Moscow Region certifies a candidate for the post, media outlets will be informed about that candidate’s income and property, as well as the income and property of their spouses and minor children. This process is designed to keep the public informed at every key milestone of the campaign and to reinforce accountability across all levels of government personnel involved.
The election is slated for September 10, 2023, a date that determined several months of campaign activity, press briefings, and public discussions. In the lead up to that day, voters were encouraged to follow official announcements to understand how financial disclosures were being handled and how candidates responded to inquiries about their financial backgrounds. The plan emphasized openness while also safeguarding sensitive information to balance transparency with personal privacy where appropriate.
Ella Pamfilova, who heads the Central Election Commission of Russia, indicated prior to the 2023 elections that remote electronic voting would be available in a portion of the federation. She noted that this option would be offered in around 20 to 25 regions, depending on assessments of security, accessibility, and voter convenience. The commission stressed that the voting method would be part of a broader effort to modernize the electoral process while maintaining the integrity of results across the country.
According to officials, the Moscow Region election commission (MSK) continues to assess the capabilities and suitability of participating regions, ensuring readiness for any procedural demands and compliance with national electoral standards. This ongoing evaluation is intended to support a smooth, transparent, and credible election experience for voters, candidates, and observers alike.
In related developments, authorities have indicated that the defense and security sectors, including ministries connected to national security, had previously cleared the possibility of organizing elections in newly established or reorganized administrative areas. This step reflects coordinated governance efforts to ensure that electoral processes can proceed in complex administrative landscapes while upholding consistent rules and safeguards across all regions.
