'vote; voice'), formerly GOLOS Association,[3] is a Russian organisation established in 2000 to protect the electoral rights of citizens and to foster civil society.

[9] GOLOS set up an interactive map of violations to which users could submit reports, video evidence, audio recordings and photographs.

[10] It attracted over 4,500 reports alleging illegal campaign tactics, including stories of employers threatening workers with pay cuts and local officials ordering business leaders to pressure subordinates.

[13][12] The state-owned channel NTV showed reports accusing GOLOS Association of disrupting the elections paid for by the United States.

[5] On 7 July 2015, Russian police raided the offices and the homes of several Golos employees and confiscated equipment including computers.

[20] In February 2016, the Justice Ministry asked Moscow's Basmanny District Court to ban GOLOS, citing a failure to present proper documentation.

[29] In addition to the presidential grants, projects of Golos in the past have received donations from the European Commission,[9] USAID[30] as well as NED.

[31] On 30 November 2011 the board of the "Memorial International Society" supported GOLOS against attacks from pro-Kremlin media:[32] The article published by "Rossiyskaya Gazeta" about this respected organization is no different from the Soviet writings against Andrei Sakharov and Alexander Solzhenitsyn.

... We express our support and respect of the GOLOS Association and anyone who strives to make to reduce the number of possible fraud in the upcoming elections.
