The head of Central Election Committee Alexander Veshnyakov is sure, that hard frost is not to prevent from organization and being held elections in Russia.
Speaking at the press-conference in Moscow, Veshnyakov reminded, that there was only one month left before the single day of united voting - March 12, when elections of various levels would be held in 60 constituent territories of the federation
"According to the forecasts from the Meteorology Service Centre, we have a month of medium cold, with no hard frost, and the candidates will have all conditions for election campaign and work with electors", said Veshnyakov.
He noted that hard frost scared some candidates, who even declared that they would not be able to campaign to the full value.
