Instructions
Step 1
Make sure that the public event you are planning complies with legal requirements. From a legal point of view, a rally is the presence of citizens in a predetermined place for the purpose of a peaceful discussion of any pressing public issue. The organizer can be a political party, social movement, private person over 16 years old. The participants of the rally are all citizens who voluntarily came to the event. Those present are not allowed to bring weapons, explosives, hide their faces under masks, or drink alcohol.
Step 2
Prepare written notice of the meeting. The procedure for its submission and registration is regulated by a regional regulatory act. You can find out more details and get a sample on the official website of the city (region) administration or in the body that works with the population, for example, the public relations department.
Step 3
Remember that your notice must detail a few highlights of the upcoming rally. Specify the exact purpose of the public event, for example: "Expression of disagreement with the decision of the city administration to build a shopping center on Central Street."
Step 4
Then determine the place, date and time of the meeting. For example: "July 2, 2012 from 12.00 to 12.30 on the square in front of the building of the city administration at the address: Centralnaya st., 1". Please note that officials may suggest a different place and time, or even ban the action. The reasons for changes and refusals are predetermined and listed in federal and regional legislation.
Step 5
Indicate the number of people whom you plan to attract to participate in the rally. Do not forget to explain how the organizers will ensure the observance of public order during the event, as well as the provision of first aid if necessary. For a small rally, for example, the following wording is acceptable: “Maintaining public order is planned by the organizers. Participants will contact the police if necessary. The medical presence will be provided by a doctor on duty and an ambulance call. When organizing a large-scale public event, it is better to agree in advance about the presence of police and doctors during the entire period of its holding.

This must be done 10-15 days before the date of the event. The deadlines for submitting the notification must be strictly observed.
Step 9
Obtain documentary evidence from the authority that your notice has been accepted. Within the next three days, the administration will contact you and make reasonable proposals to change the format, place, time of the event, as well as inform about other violations and inaccuracies found in the notification. After additional approval, you will receive permission to hold a rally, and the administration will appoint its authorized representative and provide assistance within the framework specified by law.
