Primaries “United Russia”: this appearance did not expect, even in the party – BBC News

In the “United Russia” summarize the preliminary voting. As a result of the party will form a list of candidates, who in September and will go to the elections to the State Duma. According to the Secretary of the General Council of “United Russia” Sergei Neverov, turnout exceeded expectations.

Such attention to early voting did not expect, even in the party itself. Active political position is not allowed to rest in the output of nine million one hundred and seventy-eight thousand people

Twelve percent -. Altai, Chukotka, Bashkiria and Ugra. Thirteen – in the Lipetsk region. More than fourteen – Kalmykia, Ingushetia and Saratov. This preliminary list of leaders. Turnout exceeded forecasts significantly. And it’s not just words to several regions, including Chelyabinsk and Khabarovsk Territory, had to distribute the so-called “voter profiles” as bulletins on all comers not enough. All in all sections came almost a third of the votes for United Russia in 2011.

For the first time prescribed in the Constitution the right to elect and be elected implemented literally. Make a list of those for whom will vote in September, offered to all citizens of the country – direct democracy is no longer the case. And join the candidates could not only criminals and foreigners

As a result, nearly half of the three thousand participants of the preliminary vote -. Nonpartisan. New faces among the leaders in the region was not less than the current deputies. Children’s doctor in Moscow, mother of many children in Penza, and even a simple miner in Kemerovo. That is, vote often not even for political power but for a particular familiar person.

More than nineteen thousand polling, or rather, as they were called in the party, enumeration areas in all 85 regions of the country have worked from eight in the morning to eight evening. Competition in the regions reached sixteen people for one parliamentary seat. For almost two months, participants argued with each other in the debate and went, as they say, to the people. For example, in the Crimea – the region’s first such experience – meeting with the candidates spent almost half of all cities and towns. The scope of the “United Russia” impressed and colleagues from the other political flank.

“Despite the fact that I am Chelny # Communist Party participated in the # primaries # er. I think that # edinayarossiya started using successful foreign experience of pre-selection candidates, which have not yet done other political parties, “- says one of the social network VKontakte users

About foreign experience -. not quite true. Because, by the way, in the “United Russia” and insisted: “early voting,” instead of “primaries”. As America has to choose from that will. And that’s not to mention the so-called “superdelegates,” the Democratic Party that the opinion of the voter can not be ignored at all.

To this day in the “United Russia” were ten years old. In 2006, the future applicants have not appointed, but elected, but still behind the scenes. Later joined inner-voting public figures. Now the whole country is voting. The system, which has become traditional for the parliamentary majority, according to experts, will change the entire political system.

However, there were, of course, and dissatisfied. There were those who came to sabotage seriously. In Primorye, tried to block the work of “hot line”. At some sites saw gifts to voters for a “tick” in the right line. Met illegal campaigning on the voting day, and even a threat to life: in the east unknown allegedly promised to burn the plot with all present, if he wins the “wrong” candidate. In total, the party headquarters counted 426 complaints and promised to annul the results where infringements have been really serious. By the way, most “Unified Russia” these difficulties only help clean the ranks of the

“This inner-vote -. Says Alexei Martynov, a political scientist -.. It is not governed by the law I think they quickly within the party will understand violations. After all, there is no adversarial process. it’s just competition in the party itself. “

to automate the vote counting system, as is done by the Central Election Commission, United Russia, of course, have not had time. And because the results will have to wait. Preliminary results disappoint on May 27 final – after a few weeks. And only after that will form the list of those with whom the party in power will go to the polls in September
