Law on electronic summons
On April 11, the State Duma passed a law that equates electronic summonses with paper summonses and regulates the creation of a digital register of persons liable for military service. Three days later, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the law.
The law allows the introduction of “temporary measures” in case of failure to appear at the registry office and military enlistment: ban on issuing loans and loans, registering real estate and cars, driving transports. The regions will be able to refuse deviants in social support measures. Restrictions will automatically be lifted within 24 hours of a visit to the military enlistment office or confirmation of a valid reason for non-appearance.
In mid-April, Moscow’s military commissar Maxim Loktev announced that a test mailing of electronic subpoenas would begin during the ongoing spring conscription. Later, he clarified that the tests would start only after the adoption of the relevant resolution by the Russian government.
The Ministry of Digital Transformation said there was no reason to send subpoenas through Gosuslugi now. Andrei Kartapolov, chairman of the State Duma committee on defense, noted that electronic subpoenas sent out this spring will not have the force of law.
