The Supreme Court did not let YABLOKO to participate in
the election campaign to the regional parliament in the
Sverdlovsk Region. YABLOKO’s complaint on the decision of
the Sverdlovsk Region Court (which ruled out the refusal
of the regional election commission to register YABLOKO
is the race was lawful) was not satisfied.
Thus, YABLOKO was not allowed to participate in the regional
elections. On March 9 the Supreme Court also adopted the
same decision on the complaint of the Kaluga branch of YABLOKO.
Electoral commissions both in the Sverdlovsk and Kaluga
region rejected a considerable part of signatures collected
in support of YABLOKO’s list and required for registration
in the race as fraudulent.
YABLOKO will apply to the Constitutional Court claiming
to abrogate the discriminative requirement of collection
of signatures for some of Russia’s parties to get registered
in election campaigns.
