The total number of deputies in the Council of Deputies also has changed and decreased by 1.[1]
Pre-election period and elections edit
On May 23, 2017, the United Russia primaries took place at the Drama Theater,[2] and on August 12, the campaign period began throughout the Arkhangelsk oblast.
Candidates from United Russia party were nominated in each electoral district, and in three districts they were the only candidates to vote for (the alternative voting option was only the line "Against"). Candidates from the Liberal Democratic Party were nominated in 20 districts, in 12 districts candidates from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation were nominated, in 9 districts candidates from A Just Russia party were nominated. In the 5th district the only candidate from Rodina party was nominated, and in the 19th - from Yabloko democratic party. During the elections, according to the news agency "Belomorkanal", one candidate brought people to the polling station at school №9.[3] The head of the city, Igor Skubenko, who had been elected three days earlier,[4] voted at school №13, in which the leaking roof was disguised under a flower bed.[5]
The elections were guarded by the police, which presence at polling stations was estimated at up to 1.5 thousand throughout the region.[6] By 2 pm there were several arrests in Severodvinsk because of the campaign (the campaign period had ended up on September 8).[7]
Results edit
The turnout was only 11.53%.[8] From 15 to 17 million rubles were spent on organizing the electoral process.[9]
