The movement of “The Voice” claims that power outside Moscow Krasnoznamensk founded illegal campaign headquarters for assistance “United Russia”. Officials in response to insist that only work to the organization of elections

The movement to protect the rights of voters “Voice” has sent a complaint to the Central Election Commission and the Electoral Commission of the Moscow region to the actions of officials of the administration of the Moscow city Krasnoznamensk. Activists found on the official portal of the city district administration of document that lists the composition of “headquarters for the training of the elections of the State Duma.” From published on file online, it follows that the Chief of Staff is the head of affairs management of administration Alexander Kondrashtin, and his deputy -.

In addition, the headquarters included Deputy Chairman of the Board of deputies of the “United Russia” Anatoly Trishin and deputy chairman of the Board of deputies – the first deputy secretary of the local branch of “United Russia” Alexander Chernikov, “responsible for directing the work on interaction with MORO party” United Russia “. The functions of the members of staff include tasks such as “support of candidates”, “organization of meetings”, and the list of positions – “writer”, “the territory of the field workers” and “finupolnomochenny»

The existence of such headquarters in the organ. local self-government with the participation of its officials and municipal employees violate the electoral law and the law on municipal service, says co-chairman of the movement Gregory Melkonyants. “Either we are talking about the activities of the municipal administration in the interests of political parties or the use of municipal employees logistical resources of local authorities in the same interests,” – the statement says “Voices”. Laying workers for activities on behalf of the party responsible administration in the areas they manage as part of municipal services, especially without issuing these workers leave for the period of the election campaign, will inevitably lead to conflicts of interest and risks of direct violations of the law of motion, experts say.

The law is the duty of local authorities to assist in the organization of elections, said RBC Kondrashtin. According to him, this is not the headquarters for the support of “United Russia” and the Coordinating Council to assist in the organization of elections and the “party” is not there. “This is our rough material, sketches, a non-paper”, – said the official.

There is a glaring inequality of parties, at the headquarters there representatives of only one political force, and cooperation with it is listed as separate activities, the lawyer insisted, “Voices” Stanislaw Raczynski. According to him, an indication in a document of such areas of work as “proxies” and “field workers”, says plans to conduct agitation, no involvement in the administration which should not take. “That is likely to be discussed in the paper is on the electoral headquarters of the party, and it shows that some of the officials on the service computer involved party affairs”, – the expert concludes

The work on. ensure the election – it’s hard to organize itself for the city, for its implementation created headquarters, which may include government officials, chairmen of electoral commissions and even the security forces, political analyst Gleb Kuznetsov said. “The Voice” has already complained about the formation of such headquarters. In April the activist complained to the prosecutor’s office and the presidential administration on the formation of staff in the Perm region – in response he wrote that the headquarters has already been closed.

In 2012, the motion detected at the site of the Voronezh rural settlement document on the establishment of staff for the preparation of elections of deputies of the Legislative Assembly of Krasnodar Region.
