By May 14, all candidates must submit video messages with their personal program on the electronic preliminary voting website – pg.er.ru. Three candidates from United Russia will be determined by a preliminary vote, which will take place from May 20 to May 26. At the same time, the website is registering voters living within the boundaries of the above designated electoral districts who want to cast votes for their candidates.

Chairman of the organizing committee Vladimir Reznikov noted that the preliminary voting for candidates for by-elections to the Duma is highly competitive.

“Out of 20 candidates, only three have to be chosen. The number of applicants for one place is high. This indicates the activity of society – many people have their own programs that they would like to implement. Of course, we wish victory to the most worthy, we hope that our voters will be able to determine them so that we can nominate them as candidates for by-elections,” said Vladimir Reznikov.
