Which parties are in the Duma elections? Tsik refused to register the Great Fatherland party for elections to the State Duma

Moscow. September 19. website - On Monday, the majority of votes were counted in the elections to the State Duma, local parliaments and heads of Russian regions, which were held throughout the country on Single Voting Day - September 18. Voting leaders in legislatures representatives of United Russia again appeared, and in the gubernatorial elections - acting heads of regions or acting heads of regions.

Other trends include the weakening of the positions of A Just Russia and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation due to the growing popularity of the LDPR among voters, low turnout for elections in Moscow and St. Petersburg, as well as a decrease in the number of violations during voting.

The final results of the elections to the State Duma of the seventh convocation will be summed up on Friday, September 23, but, according to the Central Election Commission, no significant changes should be expected regarding the already calculated results.

Changes

The main feature of this year's elections was the return of the mixed voting system - out of 450 deputies of the State Duma of the seventh convocation, 225 people are elected according to party lists and the same number are elected from single-mandate constituencies. At 95,836 polling stations throughout the country, it was possible to vote for 14 political parties (listed in order of placement on the ballot): "Rodina", "Communists of Russia", "Russian Party of Pensioners for Justice", "United Russia", "Greens", " Civil Platform", LDPR, PARNAS, "Growth Party", "Civil Force", "Yabloko", Communist Party of the Russian Federation, "Patriots of Russia" and "A Just Russia".

It is noteworthy that this year they also abandoned the practice of “locomotives”, when a popular and authoritative person (a high-ranking politician, athlete, actor, etc.) is put at the head of the list in elections under the proportional system, due to which the rating of his party and the number of votes cast for her voices are growing. Subsequently, the leader of the list renounces his mandate in favor of a less eminent party member.

Elections to the State Duma

As reported by the Central Election Commission (CEC of the Russian Federation), based on the results of counting 93.1% of the protocols, United Russia receives 140 seats in the State Duma according to party lists and 203 seats in single-mandate constituencies. Thus, according to preliminary data, United Russia will have 343 seats in the State Duma out of 450 (that is, 76.2%).

The ruling party received the most votes in regions with the maximum turnout at polling stations: for example, 88% in Dagestan, 81.67% in Karachay-Cherkessia, 77.71% in Kabardino-Balkaria, 77.57% in Kemerovo region. In some regions, United Russia, although it became the leader of the vote, did not achieve such high results. So, in Chelyabinsk region they voted for her, and in Moscow -.

Thus, United Russia can already count on a constitutional majority in the State Duma (more than two-thirds of the seats), which will allow the party to adopt amendments to the Constitution (with the exception of a few chapters), as well as override the presidential veto.

The second party in terms of the number of mandates, according to preliminary data, turns out to be the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. According to party lists, she receives 13.45% of the votes - that is, 35 mandates; in single-mandate constituencies - seven mandates. The LDPR follows with a small margin - for it there is one federal district 13.24% voted, which corresponds to 34 mandates; according to single-member lists, this party receives five mandates. " Just Russia"According to party lists, she received 6.17% of the votes, and according to single-mandate lists she received seven seats in parliament.

The majority of the lower house of the Russian parliament will remain largely four-party, and even lowering the threshold for entry into the State Duma from 7% to 5% did not help non-parliamentary parties pass on all-party lists. Only Rodina and Civic Platform will be able to get one seat each in the lower house, since two of their candidates were able to win in their single-mandate constituencies. In addition, the State Duma will include one self-nominated candidate - Vladislav Reznik.

Elections of regional heads

As part of the Single Voting Day, elections of heads of nine regions were also held - in Komi, Tuva, Chechnya, the Trans-Baikal Territory, as well as in the Tver, Tula and Ulyanovsk regions. At the same time, in North Ossetia-Alania and Karachay-Cherkessia, regional heads are elected by regional parliaments.

To win in the first round, a candidate needed to get more than 50% of the votes. Sergei Gaplikov succeeded in this, for whom 62.17% of voters voted. A clear leader was also identified in Chechnya - after counting 93.13% of the ballots, it turned out that almost 98% of those who came to the elections voted for the acting head of the region, and his closest rival, Commissioner for the Protection of the Rights of Entrepreneurs of Chechnya Idris Usmanov, received only 0.83% votes.

Self-nominated Alexey Dyumin, acting head Tula region, based on the results of processing 100% of the protocols, he scored 84.17%, and the current head of the Republic of Tuva, Sholban Kara-ool, scored 86%. The situation was similar in the Trans-Baikal Territory - the candidate from United Russia, acting governor Natalya Zhdanova received 54.22% of the votes, and in Ulyanovsk region- Acting Governor Sergei Morozov, nominated by United Russia, based on the results of processing 82% of the protocols of election commissions, received 53.91% of the votes. Acting Governor of the Tver Region Igor Rudenya was also a leader in his region.

Elections to regional authorities

In 39 constituent entities of the Russian Federation, elections to regional parliaments were held, in particular, in Adygea, Dagestan, Ingushetia, Karelia, Mordovia, Chechnya, Chuvashia, in the Altai, Kamchatka, Krasnoyarsk, Perm, Primorsky and Stavropol territories; in the Amur, Astrakhan, Vologda, Kaliningrad, Kirov, Kursk, Leningrad, Lipetsk, Moscow, Murmansk, Nizhny Novgorod, Novgorod, Omsk, Orenburg, Oryol, Pskov, Samara, Sverdlovsk, Tambov, Tver, Tomsk and Tyumen regions; in St. Petersburg, in the Jewish Autonomous Region, in Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug- Ugra and Chukotka Autonomous Okrug.

As part of the Single Voting Day, they also elected the head of the city of Kemerovo, deputies of municipal assemblies in the capitals of 11 regions - in Ufa, Nalchik, Petrozavodsk, Saransk, Grozny, Perm, Stavropol, Kaliningrad, Kemerovo, Saratov and Khanty-Mansiysk.

The head of the Central Election Commission, Ella Pamfilova, said that they received in regional parliaments across the country in total 16 seats. Thus, Patriots of Russia received four mandates, Yabloko - five, Party of Growth and Pensioners for Justice - three each, and Rodina - one.

Turnout by country

For Russians who find themselves outside their homeland during elections, polling stations are traditionally organized abroad. Nevertheless, the President of Ukraine ordered to inform Russia about the impossibility of holding elections to the State Duma of the Russian Federation on Ukrainian territory. Kiev said it could change its position if Moscow refuses to hold elections in Crimea, which Ukraine considers occupied territory. Nevertheless, Russians were able to vote at the embassy in Kyiv and the consulate general in Odessa, but the process of expressing their will was accompanied by unrest. There were no violations of law and order in Lvov and Kharkov. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry called not to recognize the results of the State Duma elections in terms of voting in Crimea.

At about 10 a.m., the head of the Central Election Commission, Pamfilova, announced the turnout for the current elections as 47.81%. Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said that it cannot be called low, and added that it turned out to be “higher than the overwhelming majority of European countries" and "does not affect the election results themselves, or their credibility."

The highest voter turnout was demonstrated by the KCR and KBR - more than 90%, Dagestan - more than 87%, as well as Kemerovo and Tyumen region- 74.3% and Chechnya.

Most low indicators Voter turnout also turned out to be in St. Petersburg, which Peskov called a traditional phenomenon. Thus, in the capital, 35.18% of the electorate went to the polls, which is significantly less than during the parliamentary elections of 2003, 2007 and 2011. The Moscow City Election Commission suggested that the turnout was affected by cold weather and rain, as well as bad job parties with voters.

According to the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation, in Moscow, United Russia is gaining 37.3% of the votes, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation - 13.93%, the Liberal Democratic Party - 13.11%, Yabloko - 9.51%, A Just Russia - 6.55% .

Turnout was even lower than in Moscow - 32.47%.

Violations

According to Pamfilova, every third message is related to illegal actions, every fifth is a complaint about falsification of voting results or impending mass falsifications. “Several requests have been received from observers about their dismissal by the employer in connection with participation in the election campaign. This needs to be taken under special control - the prosecutor’s office will definitely not be left without work,” she said.

One of these violations is the stuffing of ballot papers by the secretary of the precinct election commission (PEC) in Rostov region- has already led to excitement. Even on voting day, a video from a surveillance camera appeared on the Internet, which shows two women and a man blocking the view of the box, and another woman putting a stack of ballots inside.

Also, a serious incident was recorded in Dagestan - a group of young people destroyed a polling station during voting under the pretext that there was a massive stuffing of ballots in favor of one of the candidates.

In addition, elections at one of the polling stations Nizhny Novgorod region declared invalid, at three more sites in the Rostov region the results were in doubt. A camera phone left by one of the observers helped record the dumping of ballots, and now the voting results at that precinct have been cancelled.

Earlier in 2018, elections to the State Duma were scheduled for December 4, 2019, but as a result of debates, the date when the vote would take place was postponed. Election of the seventh convocation of the lower house State Duma will take place on September 18.

New Central Election Commission

It is not only the members of the lower house whose terms of office are expiring. In March 2019, the term of office of CEC members expired. On March 28, at a meeting of the renewed Central Election Commission, Ella Aleksandrovna Pamfilova was appointed chairman. Nikolai Ivanovich Bulaev was chosen as the deputy chairman of the Central Election Commission, the secretary of the election commission was Maya Vladimirovna Grishina.

New rules for campaigning for the 2019 elections

Every election is like a game of tug of war - there is a fierce struggle for every voter's vote. Each party is looking for new ways to attract more votes. In accordance with the call of Russian President V.V. Putin for the legitimacy and transparency of the elections, new amendments were made at the legislative level to the conditions of campaigning.

In the last reading, a decision was made to categorically prohibit the use of images of public figures on posters and other propaganda materials. In addition, it is prohibited to place propaganda material of any format on buildings of cultural, historical or architectural value. It is also prohibited to place propaganda materials within 50 meters of voting stations.

The changes also affected rallies. Now the car rally will be equal to a demonstration, and the tent cities will be equal to picketing. Representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs believe that such events could provoke riots on the city streets. Everything must happen within the framework of the law.

The law requires the mandatory participation of all candidates in the election race in television debates. New rules for covering the voting process have been introduced for the media.

New Rules for the 2019 Election Process

As for the election process itself, there have been some changes:

• citizens who create a destabilizing situation at polling stations and also interfere with the work of the election commission will be fined from 2 to 5 thousand rubles. WITH officials will be asked tenfold;
• photography and video filming is permitted by decree signed by the President of the Russian Federation;
• it is prohibited to remove an observer from a polling station without the participation of representatives of the judiciary;
• on legally indicated exact amount observers belonging to one party or another.

If everything is more or less clear and precise with the election process on voting day, then the pre-election process will make candidates nervous. As is already known, the 2019 State Duma elections will again use a mixed election system. We will tell you in more detail how this will happen.

The mixed type of elections implies an equal proportional ratio of deputies elected from parties and deputies elected in single-mandate constituencies, which means there is a risk of increasing competitors in the lower house. The State Duma includes 450 representatives of various parties, i.e. 225 people will be represented from existing parties, and the second half can consist of representatives of any district. It follows that voters will have to vote on two ballots: party candidates and district representatives.

Single-member districts

The Central Election Commission divided the territory Russian Federation for 225 districts - future mandates. On what principle were the districts “cut”? Using the system of a single norm of representation, the number of voters was divided into 225 mandates, resulting in about 480 thousand voters per mandate. This “delimitation” of the territory of the Russian Federation will continue for 10 years. Given the population of the territory, there are districts with fewer voters, but this will not interfere with the main factor of novelty: each district will receive its own deputy.

The highlight of the definition of districts was the “petal” model of slicing the mandate, i.e. big cities divided into parts, adding to them rural areas. This highly controversial principle literally destroyed the existence of previously created districts. Now candidates for deputies will have to “sweat” to win their vote.

Party lists

The return of the once abolished mixed system sharply reduced the chances of party candidates to enter the Duma. Thanks to innovations in the election system, each party can nominate no more than 10 people in each of 35 regional groups, without resorting to collecting signatures. Such parties include United Russia, LDPR, Communist Party of the Russian Federation, A Just Russia, etc. However, not everyone will receive mandates.

Candidate "Against All"

The main intrigue of the 2019 elections to the State Duma will be the return of the “favorite” favorite of all competitors – the “Against All” candidate. The columns “Against all” and “Against all parties” will be placed at the end of the list of relevant ballots. Such a candidate is capable of sending elections to the second round. This can happen if a given candidate receives more votes in each district of the Russian Federation.

Who is ready to become a State Duma deputy? This question can be answered briefly: anyone (no criminal record and a health certificate from a psychonarcological dispensary is required). But! Before nominating your candidacy among single-mandate constituencies, you need to collect documents, come up with an election program, while collecting 15,000 signatures, or use a new option - primaries.

Primary

The United Russia party made a loud statement about nominating candidates through a system of primaries. This means the qualifying stage of selecting the strongest candidate with a “bright” election program. The primaries took place on May 22, 2019. Basic rules of primaries:

• Registration of participants in the primaries will take place from April 15 to 21. Any citizen of the Russian Federation who supports the ideology of the United Russia party and is not a member of any other political party can become a participant. Applications will only be accepted from self-nominated candidates;
• the governors were called upon not to participate in the primaries, since they have their own support “from above”;
• primaries will be held in every region of the Russian Federation. For this purpose, regional organizing committees have been created;
• each candidate will agitate voters to choose in favor of the United Russia party, using campaign materials agreed upon with the party;
• Elections in favor of the candidate will take place on May 22. Each voter can choose one or more leaders from among the participants in the regional primaries;
• there will be no notorious “day of silence”. Each candidate can conduct campaign politics until May 22;
• Primaries are held from 8:00 to 20:00.

The result of this process will be the opportunity for the participant who has scored greatest number votes, obtain registration for elections from the party without collecting signatures.

Another interesting fact about the United Russia party. It was unanimously decided not to use the image of the President of the Russian Federation in propaganda material.

Favorite parties in the election race

Companies involved in public surveys are also not bored and use every possible means to identify the public’s “favorites.” According to 2017 data, the leader was the United Russia party. She collected more than 59% of the votes. The Communists gained 9%, while the liberals took a place at the bottom of the list with 9% of the votes. But the question “Who will win?” always remains relevant until Election Day.

In the fall of 2016, Russia will host the most unusual elections in the last decade. Fundamental differences This voting differs from the previous ones: high competition, unprecedented scale and new rules for registration of participants. The editors of our portal popularly explain the features of the upcoming elections.

Scale
The autumn voting in 2016 can rightfully be considered the largest in modern history Russia. The reason for this was not only the annexation of Crimea and, as a consequence, an increase in the number of potential voters. On the same day, deputies of the State Duma and heads of nine regions will be elected, as well as members of the Legislative Assemblies of 38 constituent entities of the Federation and parliamentarians of representative bodies of 11 regional capitals.

New composition of the Central Election Commission
Vladimir Churov, who served as chairman of the Central Election Commission since 2007, left his position at the end of March 2016. He was replaced by the famous human rights activist Ella Pamfilova (formerly the Commissioner for Human Rights in Russia).

Petal model
This time, election organizers took a new approach to the “cutting” of electoral districts. A petal system was introduced, using which residents major cities found themselves in the same district with the rural population. Apparently, a mixture of different social groups will allow for greater objectivity in voting.

Party competition
Representatives of 75 parties can take part in the 2016 Duma campaign. Of these, 14 political associations are exempt from the procedure for collecting signatures to nominate a candidate. Others will have to get the approval of 200 thousand residents of the country.

Return of single-mandate candidates
Elections to the State Duma in 2016 will be held according to mixed system. 225 deputies will go to vote according to party lists, and another 225 - in single-mandate constituencies. According to experts, this will increase competition in elections and the level of responsibility of parliamentarians to the people.

New principle of candidate selection
Fundamental new way selection of potential deputies was used in United Russia. The party decided to abandon the practice of using “steam locomotives” and compiled a list of candidates based on the direct expression of the will of citizens - the results of the primaries. Both United Russia members and non-party members could vote.

Reducing the barrier to entry
Political parties that will participate in the 2016 State Duma elections will need to get 5% of the votes to get a seat in parliament, and not 7%, as was previously the case. It will be enough for single-mandate candidates to receive a simple majority of votes.

Observers
Observers at the upcoming elections will be given greater freedom than before. Thus, it will now be possible to remove an inspector from a polling station only by a court decision. In addition, the observer is allowed to take photographs and videos with prior notification of the chairman of the election commission. Previously, only journalists had this right.

New rules for campaigning
Candidates in single-mandate constituencies are required to personally participate in televised debates. According to experts, this will allow voters to better know potential deputies and navigate their election programs.

Crime filter
Potential State Duma deputies in the 2016 elections will have to provide information about all previous convictions. These data will appear in newsletters.

MOSCOW, August 12 - RIA Novosti. The Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation refused to register the federal list of candidates nominated by the Great Fatherland party for the State Duma of the seventh convocation, since the party did not have enough reliable signatures of voters in support of the nomination.

To participate in the elections, the Great Fatherland party had to collect signatures in support of the nomination of the list; according to the law, there must be at least 200 thousand of them. The party provided the required number of signatures along with other documents to the CEC within the prescribed period. The Central Election Commission, having carried out a random sample, verified the authenticity of the signatures they collected.

As noted in the CEC resolution, the party submitted 200,963 signatures, 40 thousand were selected for verification, of which, as a result of verification, 5,580 signatures, that is, 13.95% of those verified, were recognized as unreliable or invalid. In this case, the basis for refusal of registration is the identification of 5 or more percent of such signatures.

The Central Election Commission decided to “refuse to register the federal list of candidates for deputies of the State Duma of the Russian Federation of the seventh convocation, nominated political party“Great Fatherland”, due to the identification of 5 or more percent of unreliable and (or) invalid signatures of voters, an insufficient number of reliable signatures of voters submitted in support of the nomination of a federal list of candidates,” is stated in the commission’s resolution.

To date, 14 parties have registered their federal lists. This procedure has already been completed by the LDPR, A Just Russia, Civic Platform, Patriots of Russia, the environmental party Greens, the Growth Party, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, the People's Freedom Party (PARNAS), Civil Power, Communists of Russia, "Yabloko", "Rodina", "United Russia" and the Russian Party of Pensioners for Justice. All of them were not required to collect signatures from voters in support of the nomination of their lists and single-mandate candidates.

The Volya party was previously denied registration of the federal list because it failed to collect the required number of signatures, and the Rodnaya Party, which also needed to collect signatures, was refused by the Central Election Commission due to the lack of documents necessary for registration of the list.

Elections to the Duma of the seventh convocation will be held on September 18 according to a mixed system: 225 deputies will be elected according to party lists ( proportional system) and 225 - in single-member districts (majoritarian system).

Let's continue the story about elections - 2016 which will take place on Sunday, September 18, the Unified Voting Day.

Previously talked about elections to the State Duma and how they work.

List of parties in the State Duma elections - 2016

As FAN previously reported, in the 2016 State Duma elections, the place on the ballot is distributed according to the drawing of lots.

All parties were given the opportunity to participate in the election campaign, appear on television, and distribute their printed campaign materials. All campaign events are permitted by law only until Saturday, September 17th. A day before the start of voting in Russia, the so-called silence regime begins to operate - a ban on any form of campaigning, both for parties and for specific candidates. This is done so that voters can take a break from the election campaign, collect their thoughts, consult with family and friends, and, when they come to the polling station on Election Day, make an informed, sane choice.

Candidates for deputies - 2016

In addition to voting on party lists, voters will vote in single-mandate constituencies. But finding out your candidate's name can be tricky. The fact is that most parties try to convey to potential voters only the names of their nominees, keeping silent about rivals from other political associations or mentioning them only in a negative way.

And here to help Once again you can come to the website of the Central Election Commission, as well as the websites of territorial election commissions (for example, Moscow) and even Wikipedia.

Candidates for deputies - 2016 in Moscow

So, for example, if you live in Moscow and want to find out the names of the capital’s candidates for deputies, then you can go to the corresponding Wikipedia page and start searching for the word “Moscow” there. Moscow single-mandate districts - from 196 to 210 inclusive. The lists indicate all candidates and indicate which parties they are running for or whether they are self-nominated candidates. (FAN wrote earlier about the features of the mixed electoral system for the State Duma.)

However, if you are lazy, don’t have time or can’t decide on your preferences in advance, you can do this right at the polling station, where detailed information about each candidate will be provided.

Candidates for deputies - 2016 in St. Petersburg

If you are a resident of St. Petersburg, then information on electoral districts from 211 to 218 is at your service.

In addition, St. Petersburg voters are welcome on the website of the St. Petersburg Election Commission. In order to find out the names of all candidates in single-mandate electoral districts, you need to go to the page: “Information about candidates nominated in single-mandate electoral districts.” In addition, the resource provides a convenient search form for addresses.

Let us note that in the Northern capital, voters will have to elect not only deputies of the State Duma of the seventh convocation, but also deputies of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg. Elections to the city parliament are also held using a mixed system.

If you want to vote for a deputy from another precinct - what to do?

As we wrote earlier, it is impossible to vote for the deputy you like in a polling station where you are not registered. Even if you manage to vote in your own polling station, in someone else’s polling station, you will, by law, be given the opportunity to vote only according to party lists. As a result, you will not help the candidate you like, and you will deprive your own, for example, from your favorite party of a vote.

Finally Federal agency news Once again calls on all voters to go to the polls on September 18 and make an informed, responsible choice.
