Pro-war blogger says a voter was added to military rolls after online voting

Anastasia Kashevarova says an acquaintance received a notice of military registration the day after voting through Russia’s remote electronic system, and a second Moscow voter reported the same experience.

Anastasia Kashevarova, known for her pro-war blogging, disclosed that an acquaintance was informed he had been added to the military registration rolls the day after using Russia’s remote electronic voting system. Kashevarova clarified that the document was not a direct summons to enlist, but criticized the timing as deliberately disruptive during the election period. She questioned who decided to notify online voters of their registration status, noting official statements that no further mobilization would occur while urging citizens to vote.

In a related account, a Moscow resident also received a military registration notice after voting in the State Duma elections on September 18. The reports come amid ongoing elections across the country from September 18 to 20, with officials maintaining that no new conscription actions are planned.
