A compromise option date of the early elections to the State Duma, which will suit all parties, could become the third Sunday of September. This was stated by leader of the faction “United Russia” Vladimir Vasilyev.
«There is a natural position of holding elections on the second Sunday of September, there is an alternative proposal on the fourth Sunday in September. Theoretically, a compromise could be, for example, the third Sunday of September, “- said in a statement,” United Russia “, published on the party’s website.
Vasilyev believes that the holding of elections in December next year, the majority of parliamentarians are busy participating in campaign, which will break normal work of the parliament. If you postpone the election in September 2016, the campaign will take place during the parliamentary break, and the new parliament in October will consider the budget.
against the Communists, the Liberal Democratic Party – of
The representatives of the Communist Party faction deny consent to postpone the election for any Sunday in September. “In October this would be acceptable, it should be discussed”, – he told reporters on Monday the head of the faction Gennady Zyuganov (quoted by RIA Novosti news agency). Zyuganov said that for a long time offered to hold parliamentary elections in October, “Then two months will be up to the new year, while full debate can be held in September. And what is the election in early September? This is a debate in August, they are not, there is no voter – who is on vacation, where everyone ».
The idea of the transfer of the State Duma elections was discussed in Monday morning at a meeting of the secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party; Zyuganov and other Communists said that the discussion is only possible provided that when you transfer will not violate the Constitution – otherwise very first adopted in violation of the law chosen by the Duma laws will be challenged in the Constitutional Court, told RBC Duma deputy, spokesman Alexander Zyuganov Yushchenko. Yushchenko himself, he said, the legal structure that would allow the Constitution to comply with the postponement of a vote on an earlier date, does not see.
But even if such an opportunity is found, the elections in any Sunday in September for the Communists unacceptable – need at least a full month of the election campaign, in which case it will be in August – during the holiday season, said Yushchenko. With great reservations can be discussed in October and November, the meeting conveyed the source of RBC.
The guide LDPR suggested not to consider the position of the Communists and not to try to reach a consensus on the election date.
«I do not see meaning to be led by the Communists – elections should be held next year on the second Sunday of September – 11 numbers, in order to safely generate Duma committees and commissions and immediately start working on the draft budget as its first reading is expected on October 15 “- quoted by Interfax head of the Supreme Council of the party, the vice-speaker of the State Duma, Igor Lebedev.
How was it
The fact that the deputies notified to postpone the election to the State Duma on December September 2016, RBC announced in mid-May, citing sources in the Parliament and close to the presidential administration. Head of the State Duma’s Public Relations said that the debate on the transfer of the election indeed being. The fact that “such rumors go,” said the representative of the President in the State Duma Harry Minh.
The State Duma Chairman Sergei Naryshkin, admitted the possibility of the transfer of the election for the lower house of parliament, he also called the move “reasonable”.
As already written RBC, authorities expect that the particular objections to this initiative in the Duma will not be: in September, still warm, and voter turnout will be low for sure – said one of the interlocutors RBC in the lower house. In addition, in December 2016, voters may begin to perceive the economic difficulties more acute than three months earlier, just after returning from vacation, said another MP.
The third RSC spokesman added that if early elections election campaign actually will not – it will be in the summer holidays, and it will greatly reduce the chances of the opposition non-parliamentary parties and their nominees.
What does the law say
Sources close to the Kremlin RBC was told that the decision to dissolve the Duma elections are not required. According to them, it will need only an adjustment of the legislation and the adoption of the decision of the lower chamber of the elections to an earlier date.
The vice-speaker of the State Duma, leader of the United Russia faction Vladimir Vasilyev Monday described a possible way changes the electoral law allowing to postpone the election without changing the Constitution. It is, in fact, the technical transfer of the voting day: enough to give the date of the elections to the State Duma in accordance with the law on basic guarantees of electoral rights of citizens, the statement says the leader of United Russia.
Earlier, the amendments to the election laws State Duma and the Basic Guarantees of Electoral Rights said two interlocutor RBC, close to the leadership of the House. The law on elections of the State Duma words a vote on the first Sunday of the month in which the constitutional powers of the Chamber expire may be replaced by the phrase that the vote takes place one Sunday in September, resulted from the words of the interlocutor. From the law on basic guarantees of electoral rights was assumed that the words on the combination of voting in parliamentary and regional elections on the day of the election of the State Duma in the years that same campaign, sources say. The degree of readiness of the project, they are valued differently: one person last week said that the document is ready; according to another, the initiative is being finalized.
According to Vasiliev, as a single day of voting on the second Sunday of September was set in 2012 – after the last elections of the State Duma – it is logical to unify the concept and the date of a single day of voting in the elections of representative bodies authorities at all levels, as well as the election of governors, and carry them just in September.
However, Professor of Constitutional and Administrative Law of the Higher School of Economics Ilya Shablinsky sure: call early elections without the dissolution of the State Duma can not.
