Moscow, Dec 3: As Russia prepares for tomorrow’s Duma polls to elect sixth post-Soviet parliament of the country, India’s Chief Election Commissioner S Y Quraishi will be one of the many foreign monitors observing the election process.
Quraishi is on a five day visit here at the invitation of his Russian counterpart Vladimir Churov and is also accompanied by his EC Director General Akshay Rout.
In all Russia has hosted over 700 foreign monitors to observe the poll process in the country, even as the authorities cracked down on a US-funded marginal NGO ‘Golos’, projected by the Western media as an independent election watchdog.
