On July 28, the Oblazbirk refused to register with the mayor of Yekaterinburg Evgeny Roizman as a candidate for the governors of Yekaterinburg because he did not pass the municipal filter . Prior to this, Roizman said he did not intend to withdraw his candidacy in advance. “I myself will not act. Let them take off. That is, they may not miss me, and I'm not going to act,” said the head of Yekaterinburg.
On June 26, Roizman said that the authorities are trying to use the municipal filter to prevent it from elections. "On June 13-15, representatives of the regional administration traveled to all municipalities - the heads of all cities gathered all municipal deputies, and there was a massive notarial collection of their signatures. To be honest, it seems that they did not leave me the opportunity to collect the necessary 126 signatures. Moreover, there must be one more condition - they must be signed by deputies of rural settlements, but they certainly chose them. The authorities are very happy with themselves, ”said the mayor of Yekaterinburg.
On June 28, Vedomosti, citing sources close to the Kremlin, reported that the presidential administration decided to prevent competition in the elections of governors this fall. The Kremlin does not intend to allow "strong opponents" to the elections. Candidates who are able to compete with the current governors are already difficulties with overcoming the municipal filter and, most likely, will not be allowed to the elections, sources of the publication said.
