The Central Election Commission recommended refusing to register Boris Nadezhdin, who nominated his candidacy in the election of the President of Russia. The agency recognized as invalid 9147 signatures in support of Boris Nadezhdin. The politician said he was going to appeal this decision in the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation.
In total, according to the data brought by the CEC at the meeting, Nadezhdin passed 104,998 signatures (Vladimir Putin - 315 thousand).
858 signatures for Nadezhdin were invalid after their reliability was checked at the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Among the signed by Boris, Nadezhdin CEC revealed 11 dead people.
The commissions also argue that two collectors of signatures for Nadezhdin in violation of the election legislation were members of the election commission, they collected 360 signatures.
Thus, 95,587 signatures for Nadezhdin were recognized as valid.
“I do not agree with the decision of the Central Election Commission. I collected more than 200 thousand signatures throughout Russia. We collected openly and honestly - the whole world followed our headquarters and collection points,” said Nadezhdin.
The CEC also refused to register a candidate from the "Communists of Russia" Sergei Malinkovich: 8,979 signatures in support of his nomination were invalidated. Thus, the CEC registered only four candidates, including the current President of Russia Vladimir Putin, who is going to become president for the fifth time. Putin goes to the election by a self -nominee. For registration, he needed to hand over at least 300 thousand signatures. The CEC found 0.15% of the marriage in them.
Voting in the elections of the President of Russia will be held from March 15 to March 17, 2024. Elections in Russia are evaluated by independent observers and experts as non -free and dishonest. The authorities intervene in the election process, create advantages to pro -government candidates, in some cases we are talking about direct falsifications.
