MOSCOW, 18 Sep. The Central Election Commission will promptly and carefully consider the complaint of representatives of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation on the identified potential violations in the elections, said the deputy chairman of the CEC Nikolai Bulaev. The leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Gennady Zyuganov earlier called for measures to be taken on violations during voting in the elections to the State Duma. According to the Central Committee of the Communist Party, violations were recorded in the Far East, in Buryatia, in the Bryansk and Moscow regions.
The CEC of Bashkiria told about the complaints received on the first day of elections «They left a written complaint, they voiced several points. Bryansk, Balashikha were announced. There is a complaint, it is detailed, quite detailed,» Bulaev said in the information center of the CEC. He added that also there was a report of the use of violence against one of the observers near a polling station in Krasnodar. «We need to help the observer to apply to the law enforcement agencies to objectively consider it. This is not our authority, but we are still attentive to this as to what is connected with the elections. We do not know whether it is actually connected or not,» Bulaev stressed . The Central Executive Committee will carefully consider the complaint of the Communist Party, he said. «We have normal close relations with them, CEC member Yevgeny Kolyushin was with them, he will control the consideration of this complaint, I am sure that we will fully consider it in the near future and take an exhaustive decision on it,» Bulaev concluded.
In Moscow, no violations were found at the polling station with the seal torn. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation, among other things, announced the blocking of the work of the city party committee in Korolev near Moscow, noting that they had contacted the CEC hotline and the police in this regard. In addition, the KPRF claims that in Moscow, when voting at home, ballots are issued by «unauthorized persons», and the passport details of voters are entered in the ballots in advance, which violates the voting procedure. The party also reports cases of obstruction of the work of commission members with the right to vote and observers in Moscow.

The State Duma is elected for a five-year term under a mixed electoral system: 225 deputies are elected from party lists, another 225 — from single-mandate constituencies in one round. 14 parties have registered federal lists of candidates for State Duma deputies.
