    Default Vladimir Putin is the third registered presidential candidate

    Vladimir Putin is the third registered presidential candidate

    MOSCOW, February 6. /TASS/. Russia’s Central Election Commission (CEC) made a decision at its meeting on Tuesday to register incumbent head of state Vladimir Putin as a candidate for Russian president. He takes part in the 2018 election as an independent candidate.
    "To register Russian presidential candidate Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin," the commission said in its resolution.

    A certificate of the registered candidate was received on behalf of Putin by Sergey Kabyshev, head of the legal department of his election team. According to the commission’s member Alexander Klyukin, 232 signatures of the 314,837 submitted to the CEC had been found to be invalid. "No falsified signatures have been identified," he stressed.
    Putin became the third registered presidential candidate. LDPR leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky and Pavel Grudinin nominated by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation were earlier registered as presidential candidates. They did not have to collect voter signatures in their support, as they were nominated by parliamentary parties.
    Candidates from non-parliamentary parties had to submit at least 100,000 voter signatures and no more than 105,000 voter signatures to the Central Election Commission and independent candidates - at least 300,000 signatures.
    Five more presidential contenders are awaiting the commission’s decision on the registration. They are Grigory Yavlinsky (the Yabloko party), Boris Titov (the Party of Growth), Sergey Baburin (the Russian National Union party), Ksenia Sobchak (the Civil Initiative party) and Maxim Suraikin (the Communists of Russia).

    P.S.

    Constitution of Russian Federation.

    Article 81.

    The President of the Russian Federation shall be elected for six years by citizens of the Russian Federation on the basis of universal, equal, direct suffrage by secret ballot.

    I'll spot you any amount of money Putin wins.

    When he wants to win, he wins, regardless.

    I hate to be the spoiler here, but since i'm so freakin' good at it ...

    Remember not too long ago when Putin was snubbing Obama and we thought it was a hoot? Just a thought.

    Candidates nominated by parliamentary parties - leader of the of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDPR) Vladimir Zhirinovsky and Communist Party’s candidate Pavel Grudinin - were the first to be registered as candidates because they did not have to collect voter signatures.
    Out of 16 contenders who collected voter signatures only six managed to submit the required amount of voter autographs to the Central Election Commission. All of them were granted registration as the number of invalid signatures did not exceed the 5% level allowed by the law.

    Showing us the SAME post a second time. Hoping for a different outcome, or result is a sign of INSANITY.
    Albert Einstein is broadly credited with exclaiming
    “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results”.

    It truly doesn't make a difference that there's truly no proof that Einstein really put forth this expression; it's still an awesome quote!

    So, as you can see, there are EIGHT (!) candidates to choose from - rather wide choice. They reflect a wide political spectrum of our country. The only criteria for ANY candidate to be elected is to gain the MAJORITY of votes in a campaign, where EVERY voice is counted in favor of EACH candidate. Nobody can argue that only such a system can be called DEMOCRATIC securing that the MAJORITY define those who will rule the State.

    Besides, it will be interesting to look at the percentage of those, who will vote in the Crimea and how many votes Putin will gain. This will be another kind of referendum on the Crimea, and even a hereditary, genetic and natural idiot will understand what Crimean desires are.

    Too bad you can't have an intelligent conversation. I guess you're saying you don't know what Crimea wants ....

    Balu. Remember when Obama told Medvedev he'd have more power after his election?
    His POWER, along with Putin's were FLUSHABLE to the lowest cesspools of the World.
