The Russian parliament has approved legislation to start serving call-up papers online.
The Kremlin has denied the move is aimed at speeding up further mobilisation of Russian men or putting a stop to widespread draft-dodging.
Thousands of Russians have avoided the draft to escape the war in Ukraine.
Critics say the law is further evidence of authorities creating an "electronic Gulag", referring to the Soviet-era network of prison camps.
Until now, conscription papers in Russia have had to be served in person or via an employer.
In reality, it has meant many avoiding the draft by moving away from where they were registered to live, or simply not opening the door when military officials came calling.
Under the new legislation, call-up papers will be deemed to be served as soon as they appear on a special "State Services" government portal called "Gosuslugi".
"The summons is considered received from the moment it is placed in the personal account of a person liable for military service," Andrei Kartapolov, chairman of the Russian parliament's defence committee, said on TV.
From that moment, a conscript will be obliged to turn up at his local enlistment office.
Citizens who fail to show up will be banned from travelling abroad and could face other restrictions. They will not be able to buy or sell property, their driving licences will be invalidated and they will be unable to register small businesses.
I knew running away would not work in our modern, digital, society. Now those trying to avoid harm will have to consider further choices and will likely find that harm is always present. As that is so then I suggest that it's best to consider risk which holds benefits for more than oneself if realized.
Such as condemning Putin in whatever way they can.
@Petter Considering I'm a leftist that is not my prescription. My criticism of the left is aimed solely at the hope they get better at campaigning. They should be more popular than they are so I look to explain that and see some annoying traits. My take is that our Party, the Dems, would win more often if we avoid those traits but they're hard to see from the inside. It also turns out that Dems don't give a fuck so they're likely to go on losing if the Cons were to reform. That isn't going to happen because that's their pickle so my fears might well go unrealized.
