St. Petersburg Yabloko offers its support to candidates for municipal deputies nominated by other political parties and self-nominated candidates
Press Release, 2.08.2019
Such decision was adopted by the Bureau of the St. Petersburg branch of Yabloko.
The principles for supporting non-Yabloko candidates are as follows:
Yabloko is ready to consider the support of candidates nominated by other political parties, as well as self-nominees after the registration of candidates in election commissions is completed if there are no candidates nominated by the Yabloko party to all the seats in a multi-member constituency. Support for each candidate from other public associations will be considered individually.
Yabloko is not ready to support candidates nominated by the [ruling] United Russia party, or self-nominated candidates who have connections with United Russia or with the administrations of municipalities and city authorities.
Due to massive denial of registration in a large number of municipalities for both candidates from the Yabloko party and other parties and self-nominees, work on the formation of a support list from other political forces will begin no earlier than 29 July, 2019.
Proposals for supporting candidates from other political forces or self-nominated candidates may come from members of the Regional Council, Chairmen of local branches of St. Petersburg and the headquarters of the municipal campaign. Candidates can also apply to St. Petersburg branch of Yabloko independently, by forwarding an application by e-mail by 18 August inclusive.
The decision to support non-Yabloko candidates is adopted by the Bureau of the St.Petersburg branch of Yabloko. All the names of candidates supported by Yabloko will be published on the municipal campaign website of the Yabloko party.
Decisions to support previously approved candidates may be reviewed in connection with submission of new applications or new circumstances that have emerged about previously approved candidates.
The self-nominees supported by Yabloko are also entitled to gain access to their personal account in the Yabloko municipal campaign system. For access to the personal account of supported candidates from other parties, an additional approval of the Bureau of St.Petersburg Yabloko is required.
We also invite registered self-nominees to join our team here. https://spb2019.yabloko.ru/sam
