Statement
on refusal to register a candidate for the position of President of the Russian Federation due to numerous violations of the law
“Elections” for the President of the Russian Federation are scheduled for March 17, 2024 in Russia.
The current President of the Russian Federation, Putin, was nominated as one of the candidates.
We demand that the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation make a decision to refuse to register Putin as a candidate for the post of President of the Russian Federation on the following grounds.
- The election commission must refuse to register Putin as a candidate for the position of President of the Russian Federation on the grounds provided for in subparagraph 1 of paragraph 2 of Article 39 of Federal Law No. 19-FZ of January 10, 2003 “On the election of the President of the Russian Federation”, due to the absence Putin has passive voting rights.
In accordance with paragraph 5 of Article 3 of the Federal Law “On the Election of the President of the Russian Federation,” a citizen of the Russian Federation who has held the office of President of the Russian Federation for two terms or who, on the day of the official publication (publication) of the decision to call elections for the President of the Russian Federation, has no right to be elected President of the Russian Federation. Federation office of the President of the Russian Federation for the second term.
This norm reveals the provisions of Part 3 of Article 81 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, which stipulates that the same person cannot hold the position of President of the Russian Federation for more than two terms.
The regulatory provisions on the abolition of this restriction for the current President of the Russian Federation, introduced into the legislation after amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 2020, are unconstitutional, illegal and do not meet the principles of a democratic society, and grossly infringe on the foundations of the constitutional system of Russia.
In accordance with the provisions of Article 136 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, amendments to Chapters 3 – 8 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation are adopted in the manner prescribed for the adoption of a federal constitutional law, and come into force after their approval by the legislative authorities of at least two thirds of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
The procedure for adopting a federal constitutional law is established by Part 2 of Article 108 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation.
Thus, the procedure for amending the articles of the Constitution of the Russian Federation related to chapters 3 to 8 is as follows.
- A bill is introduced from a person or group of persons provided for by the Constitution of the Russian Federation. For example, a bill from the President of the Russian Federation;
- The bill must be approved by the State Duma of the Russian Federation with a majority of at least two-thirds of the total number of deputies (there are 450 of them in Russia, that is, 300 deputies + 1 deputy = 301 votes for changing the Constitution);
- The bill must also be approved by the Federation Council by a majority of at least three quarters of the total;
- Within 14 days, the President must sign the bill and make it public;
- The parliaments of at least two thirds of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation (regions, territories and republics within Russia) must approve this law.
After which changes to chapters 3-8 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation will be considered accepted. And, accordingly, the Constitution of the Russian Federation in this part will be changed. Compliance with this procedure is legally sufficient to amend Chapters 3 to 8 of the Constitution Russian Federation .
At the same time, in violation of the indicated constitutional provisions, stages not provided for by the Constitution of the Russian Federation were added to the process of adopting amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation:
- consideration of amendments by the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation;
- holding a popular vote (a new form that is not a form of referendum).
Thus, the applied procedure for amending the Constitution of the Russian Federation contradicted the norms of the Basic Law of the state and was introduced by the bill with the amendments themselves.
In addition, in violation of the provisions of Part 2 of Article 2 of the Federal Law “On the Procedure for the Adoption and Entry into Force of Amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation,” amendments were proposed by one list and voting was carried out as a single block on all amendments.
Russian legislation requires that only amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, which cover interrelated changes to the constitutional text, be adopted by one law. And such a law itself receives a name that reflects the essence of this amendment. Thus, adopting the amendments by list, as was done, violates federal law.
In accordance with Article 15 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the norms of international law are an integral part of the Russian legal system and have priority over national law in the event of discrepancies between the provisions of national laws and international treaties of the Russian Federation.
The UN Charter declares in its preamble that its signatory nations create conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be observed.
The Declaration of Principles of International Law concerning Friendly Relations and Cooperation among States in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations (adopted by UN General Assembly Resolution No. 2625 (XXV) of October 24, 1970) establishes the Principle of the faithful performance by States of the obligations assumed by them in accordance with the Charter UN.
In accordance with this principle, each state is obliged to conscientiously fulfill the obligations it has assumed in accordance with the UN Charter, international agreements, generally recognized principles and norms of international law.
In the event that obligations arising from international agreements conflict with the obligations of UN members under the UN Charter, the obligations under the Charter shall prevail.
In accordance with the provisions of the Helsinki Final Act of the First Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Participating States of the CSCE in 1975 (Section X), participating States undertake to fulfill in good faith their obligations under international law, as well as those obligations that arise from generally recognized principles and norms of international law, as well as those obligations that arise from treaties or other agreements in accordance with international law to which they are parties.
In addition, in the exercise of their sovereign rights, including the right to establish their own laws and administrative regulations, States Parties undertake to be consistent with their legal obligations under international law.
Thus, in accordance with national legislation and its international obligations, Russia agreed to the establishment of the principle of the primacy of international law and generally recognized principles of international law over national law.
As noted by the Venice Commission of the Council of Europe, the constitutional amendments adopted in 2020 represent the most extensive and significant revision of the 1993 Constitution of the Russian Federation that has ever been carried out (interim conclusions in July 2020 and final conclusion in March 2021).
Regarding the procedure for adopting amendments, the Venice Commission provided the following conclusions .
- The speed of the process of preparing such large-scale amendments did not correspond to the depth of the content of the amendments, especially taking into account their impact on society. There was a virtual lack of sufficient time for proper consultations with civil society before the amendments were adopted by parliament.
- In connection with the procedure without the use of the Constitutional Assembly, in fact, changes to the Constitution of the Russian Federation were adopted after both houses of parliament and the parliaments of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation voted on it . And in accordance with Article 136 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the amendments should have come into force.
- Specially introduced additional stages in the form of a nationwide vote and consideration of the constitutionality of the amendments by the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation were not legal obstacles to the entry into force of the amendments. Under the rule of law, it is inappropriate to introduce a new type of referendum on one specific revision of the Constitution.
- The inclusion of these additional stages in the procedure for amending the Constitution of the Russian Federation conflicts with Article 16 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, aimed at protecting “the foundations of the constitutional system of the Russian Federation.”
- Russian legislation requires that only amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, which cover interrelated changes to the constitutional text, be adopted by one law.
Thus, recognition of the legitimacy and constitutionality of the procedure for amending the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 2020 encroaches on the foundations of the constitutional system of the Russian Federation.
In addition, as the Venice Commission noted in its final conclusion, these changes to the Constitution of the Russian Federation: - The powers of the President of the Russian Federation were disproportionately expanded. At the same time, some mechanisms of checks and balances that were originally provided for in the Constitution of the Russian Federation were eliminated.
- The exception regarding the term of office (“nullification”), which ad hominem applies to the current and previous presidents of the Russian Federation, contradicts the very logic of the adopted amendment, which limits the presidential mandate to two terms.
- The scope of presidential immunity has been significantly expanded. The rules for removal from office have become significantly more complicated. Serious questions are emerging about the president’s accountability.
- The President acquired additional powers. The transit of powers to the President from the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation has been carried out.
- Taken together, all amendments essentially violate the principle of separation of powers.
It must be understood that term limits are designed to protect democracy from becoming a de facto dictatorship. Moreover, term limits can strengthen a democratic society because they impose a logic of political transition as a predictable event in public affairs. They can be “important defense mechanisms against winner-take-all politics.”
In the light of a comparative analysis of the constitutions of 58 countries carried out by experts of the Venice Commission, the abolition of restrictions on the re-election of the president represents a step back in terms of democratic achievements, at least in presidential or semi-presidential systems.
The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe noted in PACE resolution No. 2519 of 13 October 2023 that Putin’s extremely long periods in power in the Russian Federation and the excessive power he wields have de facto turned the Russian Federation into a dictatorship that threatens international peace and security.
The Assembly notes that Vladimir Putin has been in power without interruption as President or Prime Minister since 2000. Amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation and other regulations adopted in July 2020 allow him to remain president until 2036, when he turns 83. The growing cruelty of repression against internal opponents and the beginning of an aggressive war against Ukraine were noted (as stated in the resolution).
There is a lack of checks and balances on power in the Russian Federation, such as a strong parliament, judicial system, independent media, free media and an active civil society.
PACE agreed with the conclusions of the Venice Commission. It is separately noted that an ad hominem deviation from the deadlines of the current President of the Russian Federation is contrary to both Russian constitutional law and the principles of international law.
- The changes were adopted within the framework of a special accelerated procedure, which is not provided for by the Constitution of the Russian Federation.
The normal procedure requires calling a meeting and passing special laws amending the various proposed changes, rather than voting en bloc on all amendments in one single bloc vote.
Instead, a new special procedure sui generis was introduced by special law. As part of this procedure, the President requested the opinion of the Constitutional Court on the constitutionality of the law amending the Constitution, which was adopted within seven days. A national conference was subsequently held, which is not subject to the applicable strict procedural requirements of Referendums. - The conclusion of the Venice Commission was fully approved, which considered that the new ad hoc procedure used to amend the Constitution of the Russian Federation creates an obvious contradiction with Article 16 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, which protects the “solid foundations of the constitutional order” of the Russian Federation.
- Decisions to change or abolish presidential term limits should be reconsidered, as they have a significant impact on the country’s system of stability and confidence in the electoral process. In the long term, reform of these provisions may have an impact on the quality and strength of democracy.
- Constitutional amendments that strengthen or expand the power of the highest bodies of the state (if they are adopted) should come into force only for future holders of power, and not for current ones.
- Thus, the incumbent benefits from these changes. The abolition of presidential term limits in favor of Putin and Medvedev undermines not only the norms of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, but also the established principles of international law.
Based on the above and guided by paragraph 5 of Article 3 and subparagraph 1 of paragraph 2 of Article 39 of the Federal Law “On the Election of the President of the Russian Federation,” the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation must refuse to register Putin as a candidate for the position of President of the Russian Federation. - In addition, the election commission must refuse to register Putin as a candidate for the post of President of the Russian Federation, since during the collection of signatures in support of candidate Putin, massive violations of the electoral legislation were committed, preventing his registration as a candidate for the post of President of the Russian Federation .
There are the following grounds for refusing to register a candidate based on signatures:
- subparagraph 3 of paragraph 2 of Article 39 Federal Law “On Elections of the President of the Russian Federation” :
insufficient number of submitted valid signatures of voters collected in support of the nomination of a candidate, or identification of 5 or more percent of unreliable and invalid signatures from the total number of signatures of voters selected for verification (if collection of signatures of voters is necessary); - subparagraph 8 of paragraph 2 of Article 39 Federal Law “On Elections of the President of the Russian Federation” :
the presence of more than 5 percent of the signatures of voters submitted for registration of a candidate collected in places where, in accordance with federal law, the collection of signatures is prohibited.
When checking signatures submitted by a candidate for registration, the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation must verify compliance with the prohibitions established for the collection of signatures by paragraph 7 of Article 36 of the Federal Law “On the Election of the President of the Russian Federation”:
- participation of state authorities, local government bodies, management bodies of organizations of all forms of ownership, institutions, voting members of election commissions in the collection of voter signatures is not allowed ;
- in the process of collecting signatures, it is prohibited to force voters to put their signatures and reward them for this in any form, as well as to collect signatures at workplaces, in the process and places of issuing wages, pensions, benefits, scholarships, other social payments, and providing charitable assistance .
Failure to comply with the established prohibitions entails the invalidity of signatures submitted in support of the nomination of a candidate.
In accordance with subparagraph 9 of paragraph 11 of Article 38 of the Federal Law “On the Election of the President of the Russian Federation,” signatures of voters collected in violation of the requirements provided for in paragraph 7 of Article 36 of the Federal Law “On the Election of the President of the Russian Federation” are recognized as invalid.
On the initiative of the Association “Committee-2024”, in the period from 01/03/2024 to 01/22/2024, 219 complaints were submitted to the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation by citizens of Russia in the manner prescribed by law about serious violations of election legislation committed during the collection of signatures and campaigning in support for candidate Putin.
All complaints were officially registered by the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation with the following incoming numbers No. No.: No. 24, 25, 28, 29, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 110, 111, 114, 117, 118, 119, 121, 124, 125, 126, 127, 132, 133, 134, 135, 137 , 138, 139, 150, 151, 152, 156, 158, 159, 161, 162, 164, 165, 167, 168, 169, 210, 211, 212, 216, 223, 224, 225, 226, 227, 228 , 260, 262, 263, 265, 266, 267, 268, 269, 270, 271, 309, 310, 311, 312, 313, 314, 315, 316, 317, 318, 341, 342, 343, 344, 345 , 346, 347, 348, 349, 350, 361, 366, 367, 368, 369, 370, 371, 372, 374, 373, 374, 412, 415, 417, 421, 424, 426, 427, 428, 429 , 430, 461, 462, 463, 464, 465, 466, 467, 468, 469, 470, 525, 528, 529, 530, 532, 534, 537, 539, 540, 542, 543, 584, 587, 588 , 589, 590, 592, 593, 594, 595, 646, 647, 659, 662, 664, 666, 669, 672, 674, 676, 692, 707, 708, 709, 710, 711, 712, 713, 714 , 715, 716, 735, 736, 737, 738, 739, 740, 741, 742, 743, 744, 768, 769, 770, 771, 772, 773, 774, 775, 776, 777, 779 , 781, 78 2, 785, 787, 788, 789, 790, 791, 792, 794, 795, 799, 800, 801, 802, 803, 804, 805.
Every complaint contains evidence serious violations of electoral legislation committed during the collection of signatures and campaigning in support of candidate Putin in 67 regions of the Russian Federation, including:
- Participation of government bodies in collecting signatures from voters in support of Putin.
- Participation of local governments in collecting signatures from voters in support of Putin.
- Participation of governing bodies of organizations of various forms of ownership and, in particular, massive participation of budgetary institutions in collecting signatures of voters in support of Putin.
- Participation of voting members of election commissions in collecting signatures in support of Putin.
- Mass collection of signatures in support of Putin in the workplace.
- Illegal campaigning in support of Putin.
- Financing expenses related to the election campaign of candidate Putin, in addition to the election fund of this candidate.
In violation of the requirements of federal legislation, not a single one of the 200 complaints about violations of election legislation committed during the collection of signatures and campaigning in support of candidate Putin was considered by the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation.
However, the specific facts of violations listed in these 2-19 complaints lead to the conclusion that the signatures of at least 60,000 Russians illegally collected in support of Putin should be declared invalid, representing much more than 5% of the total the number of signatures required to be collected by a self-nominated candidate. Accordingly, such a number of signatures exceeds the minimum threshold, in accordance with subparagraph 3 of paragraph 2 of Article 39 of the Federal Law “On Elections of the President of the Russian Federation”, and entails a refusal to register this candidate.
In addition to this main reason for refusing to register candidate Putin, we believe that the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation, when making a decision to refuse to register candidate Putin, must take into account the following facts and circumstances.
According to a report published by the Voter Rights Movement “Voice” during the first weeks of the election campaign, Putin was mentioned on television channels in Russia at least 8 times more often (maximum 18 times more often, depending on the channel) than other candidates. At the same time, TV channels actively tell viewers in their news releases about the collection of signatures in support of V. Putin’s self-nomination, including giving detailed instructions to Russians on how and where they can leave a signature.
also noted for violations in support of Putin . This is an entity that has the exclusive right to send observers to polling stations. Which also calls into question the criterion of independence of observation in these “ elections ” .
Thus, the principle of equality of candidates participating in elections is violated.
Thus, according to the circumstances set out in this statement, the following violations in favor of candidate Putin were recorded (and complaints were filed regarding some of them):
1) Using the advantages of official and official position on the part of officials of state authorities and local self-government, as well as management bodies of budgetary institutions and organizations of other forms of ownership;
2) Violations during the collection of signatures;
3) Violations of the rules of campaigning;
4) Various forms of forcing voters to participate in the collection of signatures;
5) Violations in the financing of the election campaign.
- In violation of the current election legislation and the legislation on consideration of citizens’ appeals during the election campaign, the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation did not consider or make a single decision on the merits of complaints received about violations of the law during Putin’s election campaign.
In accordance with paragraph 4 of Article 12 of the Federal Law “On the Election of the President of the Russian Federation” Election commissions are obliged, within the limits of their competence, to consider appeals received during the election campaign about violations of the law in relation to the preparation and conduct of the elections of the President of the Russian Federation, carry out checks on these appeals and give written answers to the persons who sent the appeals within five days. If the facts contained in these requests require additional verification, decisions on them are made no later than within ten days.
In addition, this same paragraph establishes a rule according to which if an appeal contains facts of violation by a candidate, a political party of the law regarding the preparation and conduct of elections, then the candidate, political party or their authorized representatives must be immediately notified of the receipt of such an appeal .
In accordance with the provisions of subparagraph 1 of Article 19 of the Federal Law “On the Election of the President of the Russian Federation” The Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation organizes and conducts presidential elections.
In accordance with the provisions of subparagraph 2 of Article 19 of the Federal Law “On the Election of the President of the Russian Federation”, it exercises control over compliance with the electoral rights of citizens of the Russian Federation during the preparation and conduct of elections of the President of the Russian Federation, and ensures the uniform application of this Federal Law. And on the basis of the provisions of subparagraph 25 of Article 19 of the Federal Law “On the Election of the President of the Russian Federation”, the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation considers complaints (applications) against decisions and actions (inaction) of election commissions of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and their officials, and accepts complaints (applications) motivated decisions.
In accordance with the requirements of paragraph 10 of Article 75 of the Federal Law “On Basic Guarantees of Electoral Rights and the Right to Participate in a Referendum of Citizens of the Russian Federation,” complaints about decisions and actions (inactions) that violate the electoral rights of citizens and the right of citizens to participate in a referendum may be filed by voters, referendum participants, candidates, their proxies, electoral associations and their proxies, other public associations, the referendum initiative group and its authorized representatives, observers, as well as commissions
Clause 12 of Article 75 of the Federal Law “On Basic Guarantees of Electoral Rights and the Right to Participate in a Referendum of Citizens of the Russian Federation” of this article determines that when the commission considers complaints (applications), as well as in other cases when the commission considers the issue of violation of the electoral rights of citizens and the rights of citizens to participate in a referendum, applicants are invited to the commission meeting, as well as persons whose actions (inaction) are being appealed or are the subject of consideration.
When considering applications, complaints and appeals, the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation is also guided by the provisions of the Federal Law “On the procedure for considering appeals from citizens of the Russian Federation”.
In accordance with the provisions of paragraph 3 of Article 5 of the Federal Law “On the procedure for considering appeals from citizens of the Russian Federation,” the applicant has the right to receive a written response on the merits of the questions raised in the appeal. And in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 3 of Article 10 of the Federal Law “On the procedure for considering appeals from citizens of the Russian Federation,” the response to the appeal is signed by the head of a state body or local government body, an official or an authorized person.
Meanwhile, at the time of sending this statement, the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation at its meetings has not considered a single complaint received on the merits and does not react in any way to the facts of mass violations of election legislation in favor of candidate Putin.
Also, the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation massively fails to comply with the deadlines provided for by law for consideration of complaints, which by default is 5 calendar days including the date of receipt of the complaint. And if it is necessary to verify the information contained in the complaint, the consideration period may be extended by the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation itself to 10 calendar days. Applicants are not notified by the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation about the facts of extension of the deadline for consideration of complaints, as well as about the grounds for their extension. Also, applicants are not notified of the time and place of consideration of their complaints, which directly violates their rights, directly provided for by paragraph 12 of Article 75 of the Federal Law “On Basic Guarantees of Electoral Rights and the Right to Participate in a Referendum of Citizens of the Russian Federation,” as well as the legislation on the consideration of citizens’ appeals .
In addition, at the time of filing this statement, the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation has not taken any measures in relation to the violations publicly recognized by the Chairman of the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation, Ella Pamfilova. We are talking about the fact recorded by the media of the active participation of members of election commissions in collecting signatures in favor of Putin. In this case, the collection was carried out by two chairmen of precinct election commissions, who were caught by journalists in violation.
The system of election commissions, represented by the St. Petersburg Election Commission and the Territorial Election Commission (to which these two PECs are subordinate), made an illegal attempt to hide these facts. The TEC and the Electoral Commission of St. Petersburg published false information that these PEC chairmen, voting members of the commissions, allegedly had already resigned from their powers at the time the violation was recorded. But election commissions are confused about the dates and their own legal procedures for terminating the powers of PEC members. Which led to an awkward situation with the need for the head of the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation to acknowledge the fact of such events.
Based on the above and guided by the norms of international law specified in this complaint, the provisions of Articles 15, 16, 81 (with the exception of the unconstitutional provisions of Part 3.1), 108, 136 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation; part 2 of article 2 of the Federal Law “On the procedure for the adoption and entry into force of amendments to the Constitution of the Constitution of the Russian Federation”; paragraph 5 of article 3, paragraph 7 of article 36, subparagraph 9 of paragraph 11 of article 38, subparagraph 1 of paragraph 2 of article 39, subparagraphs 3 and 8 Clause 2 of Article 39 of the Federal Law “On the Election of the President of the Russian Federation” we demand from the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation:
Make a decision to deny citizen Putin registration as a candidate for the position of President of the Russian Federation.
