The St.Petersburg branch of YABLOKO nominated 1550 candidates
to the electoral commissions in all the districts of the city.
The registration of documents in the electoral commissions
is ending today.
�All of our candidates are well educated and active citizens
and their main goal is to ensure compliance with the law at
their electoral districts. Unfortunately YABLOKO�s representatives
were not welcome at all the territorial electoral commissions�
said Olga Pokrovskaya, member of the city electoral commission.
In particular, one of the territorial electoral commissions
demanded statements of income from YABLOKO�s candidates (which
is not envisaged by the law), another commission demanded
that the copies of the work record books should be changed
as allegedly they had not been properly notorised.
�We hope to get an unbiased attitude to YABLOKO�s representatives
and will stand up for every candidate� Pokrovskaya noted.
The electoral commissions formed these days will hold elections
of all levels in St.Petersburg for the next five years. YABLOKO�s
representatives should be nominated to district electoral
commissions by law as the party is represented in the Legislative
Assembly of St. Petersburg.
