On
September 8, the District Electoral Commission of Vsevolzhsk
city (the Leningrad region) registered member of the YABLOKO
party Olga Nikitina for the municipal election that will take
place on October 11.
Earlier the Electoral Commission had expressed its doubts
in the authenticity of seven signatures out of the total submitted
by Nikitina. The commission had stated that “people different
from those who signed in the lists” lived at the indicated
addresses. The doubts of the commission were assuaged only
after Nikitina submitted to the commission copies of the passports
(containing their residence addresses) of those persons whose
signatures were questioned.
Three YABLOKO’s members Lina Samko, Valery Koptyayev and
Mikhail Zemtsov wre registered to run the election in the
Sosnovoborsky district of the city. The local electoral commission
also showed its dissatisfaction with the signatures on some
formal pretexts, however, the candidates were registered when
the drawbacks were eliminated.
