Russia's lower house of parliament on Tuesday voted unanimously to introduce electronic military draft papers for the first time in the country's history.

Currently, conscription papers in Russia have to be delivered in person by the local military enlistment office or via an employer, but the proposed changes to legislation would see conscription papers being sent via recorded mail online.

Russian officials have repeatedly denied that they are planning a "second wave" of mobilization.

With the new military summons rules being implemented, Russia was not currently planning another mobilization wave, said chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee Andrey Kartapolov.
