Russian "schools for young voters" in occupied Kherson region will teach high school students how to rig elections

This is reported by the Center of National Resistance.

Fake election commission members plan to teach teenagers how to falsify elections in local schools. The goal of these schools is to train "observers" for pseudo-elections, as stated by the Center of National Resistance.

The training is scheduled to start in September and continue until March 2024. The process is overseen by a newly formed "public chamber" consisting of several collaborators.

The Center of National Resistance pointed out that in Russia, there are no real elections, as all power is controlled by the ruling regime, which decides who can participate and who cannot. Vote counting in such a system is no longer meaningful.

• Ivan Fedorov, the mayor of the temporarily occupied Melitopol in the Zaporizhzhia region, reported that the invaders are bringing tourists from Russia to the city but preventing local residents from leaving. The mayor believes this is how terrorists are preparing for the so-called elections.

• It has also been reported that in the occupied territories of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, high school students are receiving notebooks with the Russian coat of arms and the text of the military oath.
