YABLOKO managed to collect about 80,000 signatures out
of 157,000 required for registration of the party in the parliamentary
election campaign.
The law envisages the number of signatures from a region
should not exceed 5,000. Three YABLOKO’s regional branches
(in St.Petersburg, Saratov and Kirov regions) have already
accomplished this task.
Over 4,000 thousands were collected in each of the four regions:
Voronezh, Tomsk, Omsk and Kurgan regions.
YABLOKO has been collecting signatures in 57 regions.
YABLOKO’s activists are aiming to collect over 200,000 voters’
signatures so that to choose the “best” signatures, as even
minimum inaccuracies in the signatures lists provide to electoral
commissions pretexts to refuse the party in registration in
the race.
The signatures campaign will end on October 19.
