Working on other people’s mistakes – Bulletin

Deputies from “Fair Russia” Sergey Mironov and Oleg Nilov submitted to the state Duma a bill on the holding of single-member districts in the second round, if none of the candidates in the state Duma have not scored more than 50% of the votes. Thus “eliminated the main and the biggest injustice of the electoral system”, in which the results of elections in districts “far from justice and the real approval by the people of the several candidates,” write the authors in the explanatory note. In their opinion, the elections is possible “to draw unambiguous conclusions” that the current system “violates fundamental principles of democracy”.

to Improve electoral laws the results of the autumn campaign of the offer and other opposition. According to the head of legal service of the Communist Vadim Soloviev, perhaps the first will be the abolition of the municipal filter for candidates for governors are also preparing a proposal for the lifting of the ban the leader of the party to campaign for their candidates, toughening responsibility for falsification of elections and amendments against the “steam” – there should not be situations when officials are elected, but hand over the mandate in favor of others. In addition, the Communists will insist that the election commissions were composed only of party members, and transfer a single voting day in November-December. Needs to be adjusted and the law on political parties, said Solovyov: “At the Federal level, the party should have the right to be elected only if its representation at least in the third region”. The liberal democratic pa rty will soon propose amendments, abolishing absentee ballots, and any vote outside the polling stations, where most violations, said Deputy Chairman of the state Duma Igor Lebedev. The party also advocates the abolition of the municipal filter and for the admission to the elections to the regional parliaments only those parties that have at least 30% representation in the regions, he adds.

Waiting for change

the Party “Rodina” not preparing the specific changes but considers them necessary. “We need to harmonize regional and Federal legislation and to consider the creation of a unified electoral code,” says its leader Alexei Zhuravlev.

and the deputies from non-parliamentary parties. “Civic platform” plans to the end of the session to introduce three initiatives, said its Chairman Rifat Shaikhutdinov. First – that party was equivalent to a parliamentary and not collecting signatures for the regional elections, if it has at least one single-seat districts in the state Duma. Second Finance deputies in single-mandate candidates in the same extent as the party for 110 rubles per vote. And the third is to give odnomandatniki the right of legislative initiatives in the Duma, but in the region where they were elected.

the CEC Chairman, Ella Pamfilova promised to compile all the proposals and discussion with experts to propose amendments. In particular, it called excessive requirements for registration of subscription lists, offering to “remove unnecessary bureaucracy”.

Proposals of the opposition this time will be addressed more and the new curator of internal policy Sergey Kiriyenko, is a way to Express their wishes, says the expert close to the Kremlin Fund ISAPI Alexander Pozhalov. But the “United Russia” will have to wait for the position of CEC, and that will form your wishes no sooner than the end of the year, he said. According to him, the CEC is likely to insist on simplification of procedures of signature verification and registration of signature sheets, but will support this idea of power is a big question, because it will simplify the nomination for the presidential election candidates of smaller parties and independents.

Expert on election law Andrey Buzin considers it necessary to change principles of formation of election commissions and easing the rules for nomination and registration, but the parliamentary party, in his opinion, will not go for it. Among the minor amendments on the issues of promotion, in particular the lifting of the ban on criticism on TV. There are other cosmetic changes, but radical proposals, which will be announced at the discussion in the CEC, are unlikely to be adopted, concludes Buzin.
