Anatoly Lokot: Count "Against All" will return interest in the elections

The State Duma deputy, the first secretary of the Communist Party regional committee Anatoly Lokot advocated the return of the column “against all” to the ballots. According to him, her absence affects the turnout.

“In my opinion, the column“ against all ”is necessary in ballots,” the communist told the official website of the regional committee. - The Communist Party faction voted against this column removed, because it has a very great effect on the voters. Interest in the elections fell sharply. "

The bill on the return of the count was introduced by a group of senators led by the speaker of the upper house Valentina Matvienko, who previously made an initiative to return the line “against all”. If the document is adopted, it will appear in ballots in the elections of the municipal, regional level and elections of deputies of the State Duma. The column “against all” was canceled by the Federal Law in 2006.
