| The Central Electoral Commission of the Russian Federation
attested YABLOKO’s list of candidates for elections to the
State Duma of the Russian Federation.
“We do not have any comments or remarks on the documents,”
Sergei Danilenko, member of the Electoral Commission, said
at the Commission meeting on Monday.
YABLOKO’s list of candidates consists of 374 people with
ten candidates running in the federal list.
YABLOKO was the first party to pass to the Central Electoral
Commission its documents for attesting.
On attesting the list the Commission allows the party to
open its electoral bank account and form its electoral fund.
Sergei Mitrokhin said that the party was going to launch collection
of signatures for registration in the election campaign on
September 20 (Ed. Non-parliamentary parties must collect voters’
signatures in their support to get registered in the campaign).
YABLOKO’s federal list is topped by Dr.Grigory Yavlinsky,
party founder and member of YABLOKO’s Political Committee,
Sergei Mitorkhin, party Chairman and Alexei Yablokov, head
of YABLOKO’s Green Russia faction.
“We are setting a tough goal – creation of a faction in the
State Duma. This implies overcoming a seven per cent barrier,
but we should do this with a higher margin. A benchmark for
us is ten per cent,” Mitrokhin told journalists on Monday.
