Representatives of three parliamentary factions – the “United Russia”, LDPR and “Fair Russia” – brought to the State Duma a bill to postpone the elections to the Duma on the third Sunday of September 2016. The Communists were against the bill. They believe that it is contrary to the Constitution, and we intend to appeal to the Constitutional Court for clarification.
In the State Duma introduced a bill to postpone the parliamentary elections, which affects the law “On basic guarantees of electoral rights of citizens”, he submitted to leaders of the three parliamentary groups: the leader of “United Russia” Vladimir Vasilyev, leader of the “Fair Russia” Sergei Mironov, head of the LDPR Vladimir Zhirinovsky, as well as the Speaker of the State Duma Sergei Naryshkin.
It is also prepared to make another legislative initiative to change the law “On elections of deputies of the State Duma.” At the moment, it is sent to the Prime Minister, as it envisages “certain costs”, he told “Gazeta.ru” Chairman of the Committee on Constitutional Legislation Vladimir Pligin.
The MP explained that it is a “salaries” of the current parliament deputies, who can not be elected in the next convocation of the Duma. They will receive it until December, when and were to be held parliamentary elections under the current legislation. The same applies to guarantees of immunity – the current MPs will not lose them before the end of their powers.
«The feasibility study on the bill, which amends the law on elections of deputies of the State Duma, provided that the maximum total costs to implement the obligation to present MPs could reach 713 million 700 thousand. Rub. This amount is required in the event that none of the 450 deputies of the sixth convocation will not be elected to the State Duma of the seventh convocation, or the authorities of subjects of the Russian Federation or local self-government “, – said Piligin agency” Interfax “.
The amendments require two major changes: First, from the legislation should be excluded provisions under which the elections to the regional authorities in the year of elections to the State Duma shall be transferred to the day of voting in elections to the lower house of parliament. Secondly, the elections to the State Duma of the seventh convocation and local governments of office will expire after 2012, will be held on the third Sunday in September 2016.
According to the deputy chairman of the Duma Committee on Constitutional Legislation, the representative of the Communist Party Vadim Solovyov, striking a number of legal conflicts. Transfer of the State Duma elections, in particular, contrary to the legal rules under which all representative bodies of the Russian Federation should be elected in a single election day passing on the second Sunday of September.
«They had to move a single day of voting on the third Sunday of September, but only removed all the items on the combination (regional and national campaigns. -” Times “)”, – says Vadim Solovyov. The MP is confident that the above legal case – due to the fact that the bill is written in a hurry. He suggests that the defects will be corrected during the second reading.
As a result, the Communist Party were strongly opposed the initiative. Initially, to postpone the election to the State Duma scheduled for the second Sunday in September 2016. Option third Sunday came as a compromise, as it pushed the Communists.
«On Wednesday, a meeting of all the leaders of the factions. Vasilyev, Zhirinovsky and Mironov told me that they want to make this bill. I asked for the text and justification to it, but I still did not provided, “- says the negotiations with them,” Gazeta.ru “the chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party Gennady Zyuganov.
Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov said that under the Constitution, the powers of the current Duma expire on December 4, and the earliest date when it was possible to conduct a campaign before, without violating the Constitution – is 4 November.
In this case, in accordance with the Constitution of the new parliament would meet on the thirtieth day after the voting day. “Any elections to an earlier date illegitimate, is a violation of the Constitution. Therefore, we will officially apply to the Constitutional Court for an explanation, “- Zyuganov promised.
The question “Gazety.Ru” as it relates to his earlier statements on the possibility of holding elections in October, the leader of the Communist Party said that “in this case, it would be necessary to revise a number of laws, including, perhaps the Constitution. ”
Vladimir Pligin assures us that all will become clear when the bill will be submitted to the second: “I think that when there are two laws are combined, then the situation will be completely resolved.”
«Times” wrote, that the postponement of elections in September will lead to lower turnout and the results worsen the opposition since the summer is much more difficult to campaign, based on the criticism of the authorities.
«The elections in September – is an election without the voters, who in the summer (in time, which runs the bulk of the campaign. -” Times “) are leaving. Citizens and do not want to go to the regional elections (held just in September. – “Times”), and now the same thing want to do with the Duma “, – resents Zyuganov.
Deputy Head of the Department of Constitutional and Administrative Law HSE, a member of the HRC Ilya Shablinsky insists that such a free interpretation of the Basic Law of the Russian Federation is unacceptable: “This transfer directly contrary to the Constitution, according to which the State Duma are elected for five years” – says Shablinsky.
In turn, Igor Lebedev insists that such change is possible, since the relevant provision – that the deputies of the State Duma are elected for five years – should not be interpreted literally.
According Shablinsky for filing a claim to the Constitutional Court requires the application of a citizen whose constitutional rights have been violated: “They can be any of the current deputy of the State Duma.” The lawsuit will be filed after the entry into force of amendments to the legislation.
