Nomination and registration of candidates
Municipal Filter
On June 1, 2012, a law came into force that returned direct elections of the heads of constituent entities of the Russian Federation . However, the so-called municipal filter was introduced. All candidates for the post of head of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation (both nominated by parties and self-nominated), according to the law, are required to collect from their support from 5% to 10% of the signatures of the total number of municipal deputies and elected heads of municipalities, including from 5 to 10 deputies of representative bodies of municipal districts and urban districts and elected heads of municipal districts and urban districts in elections. Municipal deputies have the right to support only one candidate. [2]
In the Smolensk region, candidates must collect signatures of 7% of municipal deputies and heads of municipalities. Among them should be the signatures of deputies of district and city councils and (or) heads of regions and city districts in the amount of 7% of their total number. In addition, the candidate must receive signatures in at least three quarters of the districts and urban districts .
According to the calculation of the election commission, each candidate must collect signatures from 221 to 232 deputies of all levels and heads of municipalities, of which 31 to 33 are deputies of district councils and councils of city districts and heads of districts and city districts. At the same time, it is necessary to collect signatures in at least 21 out of 27 districts.
Federation Council Candidates
Since December 2012, a new procedure for the formation of the Federation Council has been in force. So, each candidate for the post of governor during registration must submit a list of three people, the first of which, if a candidate is elected, will become a senator in the Federation Council from the regional government.
