The Oktyabrsky District Court of the city of Saratov overturned the decision of District Electoral Commission No. 30 on the refusal to register Ksenia Sverdlova, Chair of the Saratov branch of Yabloko, as a candidate for the City Duma of Saratov. The the court decision of August 12 runs that the District Electoral Commission is obliged to register the leader of the Saratov branch of Yabloko as a candidate in the elections.
It should be noted that earlier District Electoral Commission No. 30 refused to register Sverdlova, considering 25 signatures out of total 116 invalid. The electoral commission referred to such “violations” in the signature lists as allegedly unspecified corrections, as well as the signature collector’s indication of “false information” about his place of residence.
In addition, several signatures were rejected due to the fact that the electoral commission incorrectly deciphered the signatures of the signers and sent a request to the Ministry of Internal Affairs with incorrect data.
District Electoral Commission No. 30 can appeal the decision to register Sverdlova to the regional court within five days.
