FRANCE 24 English published this video item, entitled “Were Russian images of voter fraud…fraudulent? • FRANCE 24 English” – below is their description.
Since Russian parliamentary elections, dozens of videos have been circulating online claiming to show incidents of fraud. Our journalists contacted a man appearing in one video – he says he was prevented from participating in vote counting. BBC’s Russian language service claims that through facial recongition technology, they have ascertained actors participated in a video shown by the Electoral Commission. That video was meant to show how fake scenes of voter fraud were being manufactured.

In This Story: Vote
Voting is a method for a group, such as a meeting or an electorate, in order to make a collective decision or express an opinion usually following discussions, debates or election campaigns. Democracies elect holders of high office by voting. Residents of a place represented by an elected official are called “constituents”, and those constituents who cast a ballot for their chosen candidate are called “voters”. There are different systems for collecting votes, but while many of the systems used in decision-making can also be used as electoral systems, any which cater for proportional representation can only be used in elections.
In smaller organizations, voting can occur in different ways. Formally via ballot to elect others for example within a workplace, to elect members of political associations or to choose roles for others. Informally voting could occur as a spoken agreement or as a verbal gesture like a raised hand or electronically.
