The competition for the mandate of the Moscow Mundep was five people per place

6259 candidates for deputies were registered for the municipal elections in Moscow, Dmitry Reut, deputy head of the Moscow City Election Commission, told RBC, summing up the results of the registration stage. 1261 candidates of “United Russia”, 928 from the Communist Party, 547 from the party “New People”, 503 from “Fair Russia”, 308 from the Liberal Democratic Party and 179 from the party «Apple».

According to Reut, 599 people withdrew their candidacies or did not bring documents, another 465 received a refusal. «The reason for the refusal — is the main failure when collecting signatures»,— added Reut. Thus, “about five people” are applying for one mandate, which the deputy head of the Moscow City Election Commission described as “quite good competition”.

The percentage of those admitted to the elections was 85.4% of all those nominated (7,326 people), which is lower compared to the last municipal elections of 2017, when 92% of candidates (7,665 out of 8,330 candidates) registered, but approximately the same (84%) as in 2012 (4,151 out of 4,959 candidates).

The coordinator of the municipal campaign of “New People” in Moscow, Anna Trofimenko, in a conversation with RBC, noted that 33 people were not registered from the party: they all withdrew from the elections themselves, mainly due to family circumstances. “It is important for us that the candidates fully work the campaign, the one who felt that he could not do it left,” she explained.

The head of the Communist Party City Committee Nikolai Zubrilin, in a conversation with RBC, noted that some of the Communist candidates also refused to participate in the elections for personal reasons. According to him, at the moment 870 out of 928 candidates who have submitted documents for nomination have been registered. The party received nine refusals, in particular, as he said earlier, due to shortcomings in the submitted documents.

Some candidates lost the right to run because of being held accountable for demonstrating extremist symbols (Article 20.3 of the Administrative Code). The court’s decision on this article, which has entered into force, entails a ban on participating in elections during the year – at least 24 candidates were admitted. Among other grounds for refusals, “involvement in an extremist organization” (Konstantin Yankauskas and Sergey Tsukasov, in particular, were refused on such grounds).

Self-nominated candidates were more likely to face registration refusals than party representatives, but the creators of the two platforms — teams to help candidates highly appreciate the interim results of the campaign.

88 participants of the project “Nomination” of deputy Zyuzino Alexander Zamyatin and ex-candidate for deputy of the State Duma from the Communist Party Mikhail Lobanov have already received a candidate’s certificate, another 20 are now appealing against refusals with the support of the project, Zamyatin told RBC.

“This is significantly higher than our expectations for the number of registered candidates from the platform, so we are very satisfied. We predicted only about 60 candidates,” he noted. Candidates received refusals due to invalidation of collected signatures or errors in filling out documents.

Candidates from Roman Yuneman’s team also faced a problem with signatures. According to Yuneman, in the Basmanny district, handwriting experts found a drawing in the signature of a staff member, and in Domodedovo, the commission rejected the signature of the candidate’s grandmother. Of the 60 candidates initially nominated, 50 were registered (the team is currently working with 40 due to disagreements)— such a number of candidates will allow for a good campaign, Yuneman said in a conversation with RBC.

Elections in 125 out of 146 districts will be held in the capital in the autumn. A total of 1,417 deputies will be elected. The most competitive areas, according to preliminary data, were Izmailovo, Sokolinaya Gora, Veshnyaki, Novogireevo and Bogorodskoye, said political analyst Alexander Asafov. By the municipal elections in Moscow, the rules for the formation of councils of municipal deputies were clarified; their number began to depend on the number of voters in the district, as a result of which the number of mandates decreased by 85 compared to 2017.
