Gennady Zyuganov and Vladimir Zhirinovsky agreed on the need to transfer a single voting day to spring.

This was announced during the round table, which took place on September 24 in the State Duma. The event was organized by supporters of the Communist Party, it was devoted to the improvement of electoral legislation.

Let us develop a single opinion, Gennady Andreevich. March and weekday. The last Monday of March, every year. And summer is released

He gives the TASS of his words.

Zyuganov supported Zhirinovsky, recalling that the budget distribution will soon begin for the coming three years, but it will be necessary to participate in its consideration and adoption and the adoption will have to just be elected heads of regions and deputies of the Parliaments of the Federation's constituent entities that did not participate in the formation of financial policies.

And if the elections are held in March, you have half a year to build a program that will participate in the formation of the budget of the district, republican, regional, federal - a completely different schedule

Stressed the leader of the CPRF.

In addition, Zyuganov complained that because of the elections held at the beginning of the fall, politicians could not relax in the summer.

We are six years old can go on vacation in the summer, from our team no one was six years for a single day on vacation

He noted. He also brought the traditional argument that in early September, many voters are still on vacation or dacha.

We add that the opposition parties are not first offered to transfer a single voting day, including for spring or to later autumn months (more often than the ideas of transfer ideas for October), but none of the proposals were accepted. The last time the proposal sounded in early September 2018, when the State Duma deputies from LDPR Mikhail Degtyarev, Vadim Mahin and Boris Chernyshov made another draft law on transferring a single voting day. They offered to hold it on the last Tuesday of April.

Earlier, the Chairman of the CEC Ella Pamfilova also spoke for the transfer of the election day, since in the summer, when the campaign goes, and in September the activity of voters is low. According to her, this issue will be considered by the Working Group under the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation for the improvement of electoral legislation.

Previously, within the framework of the round table, the Liberal Committee and the Communist Party and Communist Party have agreed on a coalition agreement in those Russian regions where candidates from the opposition defeated the elections. In particular, we are talking about the Khabarovsk Territory, the Vladimir region and the Republic of Khakassia.

According to Zyuganov, CPRF candidates and LDPR supported each other in the regions where the second round of elections of the governors passed. Meanwhile, as reported, the Communist Party of the Communist Party of the Communist Party of Governor's elections reported before the second rounds of the Governor's elections, the Communist Party and LDPR could not agree on the interrelation of candidates. In particular, the Communists refused to support the candidate from the LDPR in the elections of the governor of the Vladimir region Vladimir Sipyagin, and Liberal Democrats did not speak in support of the CPRF candidate Andrei Ishchenko, who participated in the elections of the head of Primorye.

Zhirinovsky's proposal is assessed by political scientist Mikhail Doliyev (Astrakhan):

I do not see the principal difference in transferring the date of the single voting day. The main problem is not in the month of the election, but in returning confidence in them, to prevent what happened in Primorye a week ago. If you remember the story, then in 1991, the elections of the first president had a very high turnout, and they passed on June 12. In 1996, Yavka was also high, and the elections were not in March. So the question by the date is controversial. LDPR and the Communist Party once again want to attract attention, that's all. I agree that the reform of electoral legislation is needed, but this is the subject of a separate conversation.

Dr. Political Sciences, Professor, Associate Professor, Department of Philosophy, Cultural Studies and Social Communications of the Kostroma State University, Alexander Zaitsev, on the contrary, considers the initiative to transfer a single voting day reasonable. In his opinion, the "country" version was the main reason for such an initiative:

I think that the case is not in the budget and not on vacations. In September, it is inconvenient to vote for another reason: at that time, gardening work has not yet ended. On weekends, people who came out of vacations continue to work on household plots, and mostly there are Russians who have a small material wealth. It is they who make up the target audience and the main electorate of the LDPR and the Communist Party. The main motive of the transfer of the date, which was not voiced either Zhirinovsky nor Zyuganov, is that agricultural workers in September are not finished yet.

The decision on the new date of a single voting day (EDG) has not yet been accepted - the presidential administrations discusses the options from its cancellation before the introduction of two dates in spring and autumn. This was reported by the interlocutors of Izvestia, close to the up. In 2018, the election, as was planned initially, will be held on September 9. The transfer of the EDG dates will be discussed by the Working Group on the improvement of electoral legislation under the presidential administration in the fall, said yesterday the head of the Central Election Commission Ella Pamfilov. Earlier, the CEC head proposed to transfer a single voting day from the beginning of September to the end of October. In the expert environment, the foundations for transferring the date of elections do not see.

On May 16, at a meeting of CEC, Ella Pamfilov proposed to postpone the date of voting at the end of October, because in early September, in her opinion, "many more holidays and in general the dead season."

We need to change, and we came out with such an initiative - to change the date of the single voting day. Because it is clearly September - an unsuccessful time, the most unsuccessful, "she said.

Two interlocutors in the CEC stated "Izvestia", that this is the personal initiative of Ella Pamfilova and not all members of the Commission shared it.

CEC has a convenient position - wait. And harvesting at the cottage, vacation, weather and so on is not an argument for transfer, "said one of the interlocutor Izvestia.

The heads of the two specialized committees in the State Duma and the Council of the Federation spoke against the transfer of EDG. Thus, the Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Construction, Andrei Klishas, \u200b\u200bsaid Izvestia, which does not see for this serious rationale.

The head of the State Duma Committee on State Construction and Legislation Pavel Krasheninnikov (United Russia) in a conversation with Izvestia stressed that the electoral legislation should be stable.

It will be better if we will work 10-15 years by the rules that exist. Explicit errors need, of course, correct, but it does not apply to them. People, authorities, election commissions and all-all must get used to what it should be. I would prefer certainness than constant changes, "he said.

Such initiatives should be discussed with deputies, electoral commissions and the civil community, parliamentarians believes.

Three interlocutors of the Izvestia, close to the presidential administration, reported that the theme of the EFG transfer did not specifically raised, but "this is such a question that is always discussed."

The AP has different points of view on this issue. So, for example, there is an opinion that the date can be shifted, but there is no unambiguous answer, for what time: or on March, or on October-November. There is also a position that there is no need to change anything, "explained one of them.

The main argument for the introduction of the current system with EDG in September was and remains the idea of \u200b\u200bsynchronizing the political and budget cycle, the head of the IPEP Foundation Dmitry Badovsky was reminded. This is done that the newly elected State Duma, the governor or the Regional Legislative Assembly could begin its work from clarifying and adopting a budget for the next year.

Opponents of ENG in September suggest that in the first half of September, against the background of the release from vacations and the country season, the appearance of the election appears below. Supporters of the transfer of EGG or a refusal of it are representatives of small batches, which are difficult to lead a lot of campaigns at the same time, and political technologists - they want to spend more campaigns per year. As well as officials, party functionaries and employees of elections, for whom the election in September is turning to cancel or abbreviations, the expert noted.

If the current scheme is still revised, then, most likely, will stop at the previously existing model with two ellies per year - in spring and autumn, Dmitry Badovsky believes.

The most successful considers such a scheme and members of the Russian Association of Political Conservation, President RAPK Alexey Kurtov told Izvestia. This will allow to take into account the peculiarities of the regions and not to delay the re-election in the right places, he explained.

The President of the Association of Political Lawyers Roman Smirnov, in turn, believes that ENG can in principle cancel. In a conversation with Izvestia, he recalled that the initiative to introduce a single voting day appeared in 2004, when the political system in the country was only rebuilt and there was a risk of passing the power of crime or oligarch.

There are no dangerous elements for constitutional perspectives of the country, the elections must cease to fulfill the technical role and become more substantive. When the term of office of the legislature or municipal authority, the governor ended, then it is necessary to hold elections, "the expert believes.

According to him, the majority of the deadlines of the authority of the legislative assemblies and the governors are tied to EDG. Therefore, its sharp cancellation is impossible - the process will be gradually and needed three or four years so that all regions will expose their expiration date to the new rules, he believes.

The question of transferring a single voting day from the beginning of September for any other month addressed the CEC in the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. With a proposal to discuss this topic with all parties, he turned to the head of the Centralzer Elle Pamfilova, as reported by TASS, the first vice-speaker of the State Duma, the first deputy chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Communist Party.

NSNi decided to find out from representatives of parliamentary parties, what opinion they adhere to this issue, and whether there is chances to achieve consensus in the foreseeable future.

at first the first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Education and Science, Deputy from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Oleg Smolincalculated on the air NSNwhy you need transfer.

"The fact is that everything is obvious that the election campaign is generally problematic, this is a vacation period. The campaign turns into profanation. And for the opposition, the more problematic, since the party of power can use the administrative resource, and the opposition is unheated, "the communist said.

He called March or December, most convenient for one voting day, following the example of how it was before the previous transfer. Solidarity with him in this regard and on the "Liberal Democratic Flan" - deputy Chairman of the State Duma, Deputy from LDPR Igor Lebedev stated NSNthat spring is the most suitable time for the election. However, Marta preferred April, and explained why.

"We have always spoken, those dates that are chosen are extremely unsuccessful. They are not suitable for the election campaign in our country. The most optimal option for a single voting day is April-May. Even better than April, so as not to climb on the May holidays. Therefore, we have always been supported, and we will support the idea of \u200b\u200btransfer. Still, let's not forget that there is summer ( now this is the pre-election campaign time - approx. NSN), and people must relax. And April - the optimal month. After the New Year holidays, the beginning of the election campaign, two or three winter-spring months are quite suitable for this. In April in spring, people have a good mood, everything flourishes, on the faces of a smile, and people will be more willing for polling stations, "the representative of the LDPR explained the position.

Support transfer and in "Fair Russia". Representative of this party state Duma Deputy Oleg Shein talked NSNWhy the election day was at one time moved from December to September, and what, most importantly, who benefits.

"It is necessary to transfer because this day should be convenient for the voter. It is clear why at one time he was shifted at the beginning of September - the government is interested in a low appearance, since the number of her supporters actually in parliamentary, regional, local elections are not very big. And people, sometimes supporting President Putin, can be very critical to the party "United Russia" and local authorities. It was for this reason that the voting day was moved from December to September, the time when people just came out of vacations, only passed on September 1. The election campaign itself, the campaign period completely falls on the summer season, that is, the classroom-vacation. And it is beneficial for the country to ensure that the maximum number of people has been politicized is involved in public discussion, because any country is not the earth, these are people, first of all. And the more actively the public intelligence in the development of the state is incorporated, the better this country is developing, "Shein emphasized.

He suggested transferring a single voting day for October, mainly in the middle of the month, when September and the first half of October will remain for the campaign - the time is not yet cold, and therefore, convenient for meetings of people's chubs with the people. By the way, the head of CEC Ella Pamfilov adheres to the same opinion, it was with such a proposal during the meeting of the election commission.

The question remains that it is necessary to representatives of different parties to come together in a single opinion about the day of elections? Deputy from LDPR Igor Lebedev I am convinced - the party of power will say "yes", and over time, everyone will come to a common denominator.

"It is enough that the party" United Russia "came to solve this issue. Because all the parties are unlikely, we have all different opinions about this. But theoretically we can agree. There have been cases when we came to a general decision, voiced it to the president, and it was implemented. I think that with a single voting day there will be something like that, it will also pass, maybe two or three cycles, and everyone will sit down and choose the day that will arrange everyone, "the parliamentarian assured.

But in "Fair Russia" is not so optimistic in the forecasts. Oleg Shein stated NSN- The parliamentary majority will not go for the transfer. In any case, not this year for sure. Yes, and the solution will be finally not completely from them.

"We understand well that all parties, except for one, adhere to the point of view that the transfer is needed. We also understand that one-only party, possessing, however, 70% of the deputy places will rest on a horn to the ground, but to perform categorically against any transitions. They are interested in this kind of manipulation to maintain their own, as they think, infinite power. It is clear that the final decision will be made not in the Okhotny Row ( in the State Duma - approx. NSN), and on the old square or in the Kremlin. In the foreseeable time, this will not be, and I am sure that this year does not have to talk about it, "Syin summed up.

In the party of power to the question NSNabout whether it is necessary to discuss the transfer of a single voting day, they answered concisely:

"I think you need to leave in September," gave a brief answer head of the Duma Fraction of United Russia Sergey Neversov.

So, whether there will be a discussion, will not, rely on the unity of the opinions of parties in this matter is not yet.

Alisa Inyakhina

On December 21, a working group will be gathered under the leadership of the first deputy head of Sergey Kiriyenko to discuss the possibility of transferring a single voting day. Previously, this question has repeatedly raised the head of Cyca Ella Pamfilov, believing that the end of summer - the beginning of autumn is not very good time for election campaigns. Answering the media questions, the head of the Central Election Commission did not rule out that already in 2019. A single voting day can be assigned to another time. Now EGG is held on the second Sunday of September, and in the year of elections to the State Duma - in the third Sunday of September.

Chairman of the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation Ella Pamfilov did not rule out the possibility of transferring a single voting day for a later date already in 2019.

Consideration of the issue will be held on December 21 at a meeting of the Working Group on the improvement of electoral legislation, which is managing the first deputy head of the Presidential Administration Sergey Kiriyenko.

First discussion

The Working Group under the Presidential Administration (AP) will meet for discussion of electoral legislation after the regional elections, the head of the Central Election Commission (CEC) Ella Pamfilov said. She encourages to discuss voting dates. The group meets only once: there was a question of the adjustment of the municipal filter on the governor's elections. In the amendment it did not fail, so according to the old rules in 2018 they will elect at least 20 governors.

Ella Pamfilova reported to journalists that "the problem of the date, when the one's optimal number of voting is already overriser." Since 2013, regional elections in the Russian Federation are held on the second Sunday of September. The discussion on the date is actually the abolition of two days of voting, which were previously passed in March and October. Initially, the Communists and Corpoles opposed the elections in fact during the holiday season. "When the most convenient to vote for voters is the subject of consideration of the working group, which in the fall, after a single voting day, under the auspices of the AP will resume its very intensive work," said the head of the CEC.

In the coming days, the deputies of the Fair Russia faction will contribute to the State Duma on transferring a single voting day for the second Sunday of October. This was announced by the first deputy chairman of the Committee of the Lower Chamber for Gosstroiteli and Legislation, Deputy Head of the faction Mikhail Emelyanov.

"We have prepared a bill on transferring a single voting day for the second Sunday of October. We believe that the idea of \u200b\u200bvoting in September is unsuccessful. Because campaign falls in August when people are practically no: they are at the cottage or on vacation. We believe that campaigning in September would be more efficient and productive. Moreover, similar proposals made Pamfilov (Head of the Central Election Commission). Must be submitted either today, or tomorrow, "said Emelyanov.
