CEC decision on registration of MSPRR

The Central Electoral Commission (CEC) has registered the Republican Social-Political Movement Ravnopravye (MSPRR) as electoral competitor for the March 6 parliamentary elections. The list of candidates of MSPRR includes 69 persons. The approval of the electoral symbol and colours of MSPRR were not contested as in the precedent electoral campaigns. The electoral symbol of the electoral contestant MSPRR coincides with the symbol of this party, it features “a two-headed eagle with a shield with the name of the Social-Political Movement Ravnopravye on breast, an eagle with a laurel branch in claws.” The adoption of this symbol was contested in the precedent electoral campaigns because it features a stylized image of the Russian Federation’s state escutcheon. The electoral colours of MSPRR — white, blue, red — also coincide with colours of the Russian Federation’s state flag. The candidacy of Dmitrii Silchin was accepted as representative with the right to consultative vote to CEC.
