Andrey Isaev: "United Russia" will advocate the abolition of the "against all" column

On June 4, 2006, Andrey Isaev, deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, commented to the REGNUM news agency on possible changes in the electoral legislation, in particular, the abolition of the "against all" column in the federal elections.

"United Russia", said A. Isaev, is likely to be inclined to support the amendment that would abolish the column "against all" in the elections at the federal level. “If the United Russia party votes for this, it will once again act in the interests of the country, and not in its own interests. It is in the party interests of United Russia that the column “against all” remain, ... but the party will advocate its abolition, because our party is doing what is beneficial for the country's political development ," the deputy said.

Izvestia of June 7, 2006 reported that the State Duma Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Construction recommended that the House adopt a bill to abolish the "against all" column in the first reading.
