Public stress test of eDoklady digital ID app to take place Thursday

People can take part in a public stress test of the eDoklady digital ID app on Thursday at 1 p.m. The Interior Ministry and the Digital and Information Agency (DIA) want to gather data under conditions that most closely simulate the simultaneous load the system could face during elections, their representatives said at a press conference on Tuesday.

The test is being held ahead of this autumn’s municipal elections. Last year, the eDoklady system collapsed under heavy demand during the parliamentary elections.
