“Smart voting” brought deputies to cities, but not to regions – only 7.5% there
Of the 239 candidates for regional legislative assemblies who were supported by Smart Voting, only 18 people or 7.5% won, and more often took second place, but sometimes with a multiple gap. Znak.com reports this. In city parliaments, Alexei Navalny’s project performed much better: in Tambov, out of 18 mandates, only one went to United Russia, and 16 were taken by candidates from Smart Voting.
