According to YABLOKO’s leader Sergei Mitrokhin, “voting and
fraud of elections of October 11 should become one of the
key topics of Presidential Address to the Federal Assembly.”
“Obvious falsification of the results of the voting on October
11 showed to the Russian society and the entire world that
the institute of democratic elections has been virtually demolished
in the country,” Mitrokhin added.
Mitrokhin thinks that “in such a situation the President
should propose the measures targeted at ensuring of honest
elections.”
YABLOKO’s leader also thinks that the President should immediately
introduce into the State Duma amendments containing the following
provisions:
1) to offer to the citizens an opportunity to check their
data in the voting lists after the election day;
2) to ensure that expelling of observers from the electoral
district can be allowed only on decision of the electoral
commission of the RF subject adopted on the request to the
local electoral commission;
3) to introduce criminal liability for such violations as
- refusal of the chair of the electoral commission to give
a copy of the protocol right after its signing;
- creation of obstacles for observers by electoral commission
members;
- violation of the norm of the law on submitting the protocol
with data from local commissions into the aggregate table
of voting immediately after the protocol is received by the
territorial electoral commission.
4) to form electoral commission only on parties’ proposals
and on the equal basis;
5) to lower the barrier to 3% and abolish the Imperiali method;
6) to abolish collection of signatures for political parties,
lower the number of required signatures for all other participants
of the election process.
It should be also noted that Dmitry Medvedev during his meeting
with the head of the central Electoral Commission Vladimir
Churov said that in his Address to the Federal Assembly he
would like to offer proposals on improvement of the electoral
system, “also with regard to the past elections”.
