Three other buildings of the university where polling stations are open (28/16Nalichnaya Street, 5 Shkipersky Protok, and 15 Morskaya Embankment) have cafeterias, where pies, sandwiches, hot coffee, and tea are sold.

Rector Vladimir Litvinenko, who personally inspected the quality of preparation of the subordinate premises for the upcoming event, called on the staff of Mining University, its students and postgraduates, and all St. Petersburg residents to be sure to participate in the upcoming elections.

“I urge all citizens who are not indifferent to the future of our country to come to the polls and vote. This year we can do it during three consecutive days, i.e., there is enough time to express our position. There is no doubt that all of us, every member of society, to feel confident in the future, need a strong and authoritative legislature and deputies who rightly enjoy the trust and respect of the people. After all, in many respects it is them, through the adoption of reasonable and timely legal and regulatory acts that should form a positive agenda, to create mechanisms that will give St. Petersburg and Russia an impetus to further socio-economic development. Mining University has done everything possible to make sure that the residents of Vasilievsky Island who will come to vote at one of our four PEC locations feel comfortable and safe. Once again I urge everyone to come to the elections for the State Duma and the Legislative Assembly and vote for strong and reliable parliaments,” Litvinenko emphasized.

It is necessary to note, that all premises of Mining University, where PECs are located, will be open from 8 a.m. till 8 p.m. during all three days of voting.
