Our party receives questions from citizens from different regions of Russia about collecting signatures for the nomination of Grigory Yavlinsky as a candidate in the forthcoming presidential election. In September, Grigory Yavlinsky said that he was ready to consider the possibility of participating in the election campaign if at least 10 million citizens’ signatures were collected in support of his nomination.
We know that signatures are collected at the initiative of civil activists under petitions on the Internet, as well as in paper form.
For example, there are such petitions as:
“Our voice is for Peace and Freedom!”
“For nominating Grigory Yavlinsky as a candidate for the 2024 presidential elections”
“Nomination of Grigory Yavlinsky as a candidate for the 2024 Russian presidential elections!”
In connection with incoming requests from initiative groups and citizens, signature sheets can be obtained from the party office in Moscow. One can also sign at the offices of the regional branches of the party.
I repeat, there is no single organised centre for the collection of signatures; signatures are collected by citizens and initiative groups. But we are ready to provide any possible assistance to activists and initiative groups.
