How to vote in single-mandate constituencies

For the State Duma, Yabloko candidate is Viktor Shalyakin.

For the Novgorod Regional Duma, Yabloko has 12 candidates:

Constituency No. 4 — Yelena Tulina
Constituency No. 5 — Andrei Shuvalov

Constituency No. 17 — Olga Nikitina
Constituency No. 18 — Nadezhda Chindina
Constituency No. 19 — Alexander Bolshakov
Constituency No. 20 — Anna Varnakova

In Constituency No. 11, where a court removed Anna Cherepanova, leader of Yabloko in the Novgorod Region, from the race, Yabloko is asking its supporters to write in her name on the ballot paper. “This is how we can express our protest against this arbitrary action. We cannot recommend anyone else to you in place of Anna Cherepanova.

It should be noted that a ballot paper on which any mark is placed in more than one square is considered invalid. Invalid ballot papers are recorded in the vote count protocol. Do not leave the boxes blank. Don’t give falsifiers a chance,” Yabloko in the Novgorod Region writes.
