After that, your data will be entered in the register of issuing absentee ballots, you will sign there and receive the necessary certificate in your hands.
Step 4
If you are unable to come by yourself for an absentee ballot, send your representative to the election commission. He will be issued a certificate in your name only if you have your own passport and a notarized power of attorney.

After the issuance of the absentee ballots to the representative, the members of the election commission will withdraw the power of attorney from him.
