MOSCOW, December 17. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s election campaign headquarters will start officially operating as early as by the end of next week, probably by Saturday, a source familiar with the way of the campaign’s organization told TASS.

"The work of the election campaign HQ will be officially started next week, closer to Saturday," he said, adding that the campaign virtually kicked off after a group of initiative voters decided to support Putin’s self-nomination in next year’s presidential election.

Secretary of the ruling United Russia party’s General Council and one of the initiative group’s voters Andrey Turchak said earlier that Putin’s election campaign headquarters will be established as soon as all procedures for his self-nomination are completed.
