Registration of candidates for the State Duma elections will…
Registration of candidates for the State Duma elections will continue until August 5; the commission has verified lists from 11 political parties, and federal candidate lists from five parliamentary parties have already been registered, including 1,522 candidates. The Central Election Commission found new errors in the documents of the 'Greens' party.
Consensus
- The Central Election Commission (CEC) identified errors in the documents submitted by the 'Zelёnye' party for registration of its federal list of State Duma candidates.
- The CEC gave the party two days to correct the errors.
- The deadline for candidate registration is 5 August.
- The CEC has already verified federal lists from five parliamentary parties, including United Russia, CPRF, LDPR, Fair Russia, and New People.
- The 'Zelёnye' party's list was previously verified on 18 July with 262 candidates after corrections.
Points of divergence
- The errors primarily involved inaccuracies in the spelling of surnames and addresses, and one candidate still had different versions of employment documentation. — kommersant
- Three candidates specifically retained errors: Darya Kuznetsova (address error in presidential reference), Yegor Kiselyov (discrepancy in surname between passport and party documents), and Denis Shchебetov (inconsistency in place of employment across documents). — vedomosti
- The 'Zelёnye' party submitted a new list at their congress on 5 July, which included the final candidate roster and a program titled 'Seven Steps'. — vedomosti
