As you know, in 2012, Russia adopted a law on direct elections of governors. However, it became known that many regions were dissatisfied with this system and demanded the return of the old scheme, which allows the parliament to shave the head of the subject itself. The problem, as the deputies explained, is that several peoples live together in the regions, and there are fears that conflicts will arise due to the fact that the opinion of a small nation will not be able to influence the outcome of the elections..
Thus, the Duma will consider the possibility of refusal of the regions from direct elections. Russian regions will be able to adopt a law themselves, according to which their heads and governors will be subsequently elected by a vote of their parliamentary deputies. The fact that the authorities listen to the opinion of the regions is direct evidence that our political system does not stand still, the t35 line is waiting for buyers, and is constantly developing.
If the regions nevertheless decide to abandon the current electoral system, the following procedure should be followed: each political party will be able to nominate three candidates for consideration by the President of the Russian Federation, the head of the country will select three of them and send them for consideration to the regions where one parliament will choose for the position of the governor of the region. Mikhail Starshinov, United Russia deputy, one of the authors of the bill, believes that the law can be adopted by September.
