Ella Pamfilova’s remarks come ahead of next month’s regional elections across Russia, as well as the 2024 presidential election, in which President Vladimir Putin is expected to seek re-election for a fifth term in office. Sources close to the presidential administration told the independent Meduza news website last month that regional authorities have been tasked with ensuring no less than 80% of the votes for the Russian leader.

    That’s (most likely) not what she means. Not least because most Western countries don’t have an electoral college (but please do get rid of that institution:)). Instead, what she is probably referring to is developing respect for minorities aka “PC”, “wokeness” and “LGBTQ propaganda” (paraphraseling right-wing talking points here).

      What she is “referring to” is the fact that she lives in a dictatorship and she would likely end up in jail simply for discussing democracy.
