Elections to the State Duma of Russia 2016 will not be a certain standard, ordinary event. Already their date, September 18, was a surprise for the voters of the Russian Federation and for observers from other countries. Since the regular elections to the State Duma of the Russian Federation, appointed earlier on December 4 this year, were postponed to autumn 2016, the changes affected both the election campaign and the election procedure itself. This year the Crimean candidates will be the first candidates for parliament. The Central Election Commission has identified 225 electoral districts, among them Crimean ones - 4. Traditionally, most of the districts are in Moscow and the Moscow region (15 and 11 respectively). St. Petersburg is divided into 8 constituencies. Naturally, how and for whom to vote in the 2016 elections in Russia, today is the number one question for all people who are not indifferent to the fate of their own country. Among the candidates for the Duma of the 7th convocation there are also the names of famous people: not only political figures, but also actors, directors, writers, human rights activists, doctors and military personnel. According to political analysts and preliminary public opinion polls, United Russia will gain the majority of votes and, accordingly, the number of seats in the Russian parliament. In addition to this party, the CPRF and the LDPR are constantly mentioned in the top three leaders.
For whom to vote in the election of 2016 - the names of candidates
Of course, the 2016 vote will be secret. Consequently, the question of who to vote for in the 2016 election is a personal matter for every person. During the election campaign, parties and their candidates are being actively advertised, whose names are known long before the elections. Exactly the day before the event, any advertising campaigns and mentioning of names and surnames of candidates for deputies of the State Duma for the purpose of agitation are prohibited. Any violation of this procedure may lead to the exclusion of candidates to the Russian parliament from the lists.
Who to vote for in the 2016 elections except United Russia
United Russia - the party headed by Dmitry Medvedev - today has more chances to take more seats in the State Duma. Today, the position of the party has slightly weakened, as well as the popularity of Medvedev. Nevertheless, this will not be reflected in the general picture of voting in the Duma. Such a fall in the rating of the EP will only change the percentage of votes given to two other leaders (except for the EP) - liberal democrats - the LDPR, headed by V.V. Zhirinovsky and the Communists, headed by G.A. Zyuganov. Today in social networks formed several groups dedicated to the Election Day on September 18, 2016. In mini-surveys, users of social networks and members of these communities give advantages to the LDPR, the Communist Party, and Parnassus. Opposition parties (Yabloko, Just Russia, etc.) have less support and low chances to go to parliament.
For whom to vote in the elections to the State Duma in 2016 in Moscow
Elections to the State Duma in 2016 in Moscow will be held on September 18, 2016 simultaneously in 15 districts, as well as in 11 districts of the Moscow region. Among the candidates for the Duma are Academician Gennady Onishchenko, TV presenter Evgeny Revenko, actress Yulia Mikhalkov, TV presenter Petro Tolstoy and other famous people's names.
For whom to vote in the elections to the State Duma in 2016 in St. Petersburg
Elections to the State Duma in 2016 in St. Petersburg will be held in 8 districts. Among the candidates for deputy from St. Petersburg are people such as the director of the television channel "St. Petersburg" Sergei Boyarsky (the son of Mikhail Boyarsky), V. Milonov, the current deputy of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg, vice speaker of the Legislative Assembly of the joint venture Sergei Andenko and other popular personalities. Against V. Milonov is going to go Lev Dmitriev, an oppositionist from the 17th district of St. Petersburg. No matter how much one talks about the secrecy of the vote and independence of the choice of every citizen of our country, the position of the Russians who have not yet decided who to vote for in the 2016 elections in Russia is greatly influenced by the opinion of the leaders of the leading parties of the Russian Federation. Today, the permanent leader of the Liberal Democrats, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, decided to actively support D. Medvedev and United Russia. The leader of the LDPR has long been not an oppositionist and has been working in an active manner together with the ruling party. Therefore, most likely, such a position of the liberal-democratic party will lead to an increase in its supporters. If half a year ago the LDPR was on the third place among the troika of the "EP-CPRF-LDPR", today it can get ahead: there is still time until September 18, 2016. To date, all the names of candidates for the State Duma in all districts of Russia (St. Petersburg, Moscow in the first place) have been approved. If unforeseen events do not occur (elections are always a surprise), then on September 19, 2016, the Russians will learn the names of those who will take decisions that are crucial for the country within the next five years.
