It is necessary to provide written notification to the CEC in advance. The document should include information on the specialists involved in the poll, the regions where polls will be conducted, as well as the applied methods of analysis. When publishing the results, the media or online platforms are required to indicate the legal entity that conducted the poll, the ordering party, the method of collecting data, the exact wording of questions, the number of respondents and the margin of error.
