The changes Putin greenlighted limit coverage of Central Election Commission sessions to registered media outlets, which could exclude freelancers or independent journalists, according to the reports on Tuesday.
The amendments prohibit media from reporting on the commission’s actions at military bases or in areas under martial law without advance clearance from regional and military authorities.
They also bar the publication of any campaign content on “blocked sources”, referring to restricted websites and social media services.
Under an intensifying crackdown on the opposition and the flow of information, Russia has banned an array of websites and services, including Facebook and Instagram.
To enforce this ban, the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media also reportedly plans to block certain virtual private networks (VPNs) that Russians widely use to bypass internet restrictions.
The state-owned news agency RIA quoted the ministry on Sunday as saying that it could block certain “VPN services and VPN protocols” that an expert commission identifies as a “threat.”

Who’s running against “Putin”?
“Elections are what a democracy demands and Putin himself decided to hold them, but theoretically, they don’t even have to be held,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told state media outlet RBK on Aug. 8. He added, “Because it’s clear that Putin will be elected. That’s completely my personal opinion.”
Peskov told RBK he was seeking to clarify his earlier Aug. 6 statement to The New York Times that he claims was misquoted.
“Our presidential election is not really democracy, it is costly bureaucracy,” Peskov told the New York Times in the article published Aug. 6. “Mr. Putin will be re-elected next year with more than 90 percent of the vote.”
