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 YABLOKOs 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 YABLOKOs 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 YABLOKOs 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. YABLOKOs
representatives should be nominated to district electoral
commissions by law as the party is represented in the Legislative
Assembly of St. Petersburg.
