RF 39 item 3597

Yeltsin first conceived of a lower house consisting of 400 deputies, of whom 130 were to be chosen from national party lists and 270 from single-member districts (Ukaz Prezidenta RF No. 1400 O poetapnoi konstitutsionnoi reforme v RF; Polozhenie O federal'nykh organakh vlasti na perekhodnyi period; Polozhenie o vyborakh deputatov Gosudarstvennoi Dumy, 21 Sept. 1993, Sobranie aktov Prezidenta i Pravitel'stva RF 39 (1993) item 3597). The make-up of parliament to this date is a controversial issue among Russian politicians.

Article 39 of the Duma Election Law. The Law, however, does not prescribe in detail how the regional sub-lists are to be composed. In theory, a party list could consist of an all-federal part and only one regional sub-list.

That is, if at least two lists that passed this threshold received together more than 50 per cent of the votes cast for all federal lists. In the event that less than half of the votes were cast for lists that passed the five per cent threshold, the treshold was lowered (Article 80 of the Duma Election Law). This relaxation was a response to the outcome of the 1995 Duma elections, which left about half of the voters unrepresented.

A variation on this was observed by our colleague Martin Dewhirst in Kursk oblast'. There the Unity/Medved' organization distributed a new 'newspaper', Kurskii medved', issue No.0 of which was dated 14 December. With graphic illustrations the 'newspaper' suggested to readers that if they wanted to vote for Unity they should tick box 14; and if they were going to vote for another party they should put a minus sign in box 14. Non-Unity voters would thereby invalidate their ballot paper. A copy of Kurskii medved', No.0 is in the possession of the authors.
