Today is a campaign-free day in Russia ahead of regional elections on Sunday. Russians are to vote in more than 6 thousand regional and municipal elections and referendums. According to election legislation, no campaigning is allowed ahead of the vote on Saturday, so that people could think clearly who to vote for. 8 regions – Sverdlovsk, Kurgan, Ryazan, Kaluga, Voronezh, Khabarovsk, Yamal-Nenets and Altai – are to elect local assemblies from representatives of 4 parties: “United Russia”, the Communist Party, the Liberal Democratic Party and “A Just Russia” Party. Residents of 5 cities are to elect new administration heads. More than 100 thousand observers will be monitoring the polls. Representatives of international organizations can come to the polling stations as guests, not observers.
