2020: Head of the Federal Center for Informatization at the CEC of the Russian Federation

On September 30, the Central Election Commission announced the appointment of Alexander Sokolchuk, the head of the Federal Center for Informatization at the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation (CEC of the Russian Federation), who previously held the post of deputy head of the FCI.

Mikhail Popov, who headed the Federal Center for Informatization at the CEC for 12 years, wrote a letter of resignation of his own free will.

Mikhail Anatolyevich is a highly qualified specialist who adequately ensured the functioning of the state automated system "Elections." We respect his decision and express our gratitude for many years of work, - said the head of the CEC Ella Pamfilova.

According to Interfax, Popov's departure from the FCI is associated with the appearance of captcha on the website of the Central Election Commission.

On September 23, Pamfilova apologized for difficulties working with the database of the CEC of Russia and gave instructions to remove the capcha (a fully automated public Turing test to distinguish between computers and people) from each page on the website of the Central Election Commission, leaving it only on the main page.

At a meeting on Wednesday, she added that the situation with Capcha for her and for Popov "turned out to be very serious." Pamfilova noted that Popov will continue to cooperate with the CEC "in a new capacity." At the meeting, the former head of the FCI said he agreed to this.

After the Single Voting Day, it turned out that it became difficult to process the election results on the CEC website - verification data had to be entered into the capcha on each new page.

The search system has become really time-consuming and lengthy, I admit it. We will solve the problems that have arisen, - said the head of the CEC in an interview with Interfax[2].

Pamfilova explained that the problem is associated with the increased load on the izbirkom.ru website since 2019 - the number of requests from robotic programs has increased. In September, the capcha was removed.
