People will still be able to vote for Yabloko candidates in their respective districts.
Yabloko candidates are continuing their election campaigns in single-member districts following the Supreme Court's decision to remove the party's federal list from the State Duma election. Candidates in at least four regions have said they will remain in the race.
Alexander Novikov from Kursk Oblast said he would continue running in his single-member district. Vladislav Arkadyev in Chuvashia also confirmed that he would stay in the race and announced a fundraiser for campaign materials. In Irkutsk Oblast, the party's regional branch said that it would continue its election activities, while candidate Pavel Kharitonenko celebrated the placement of his first campaign banner in Baykalsk. In Yakutia, candidate Anatoly Nogovitsyn assured supporters that “the people of Yakutia have their own candidate for Peace and Freedom.”
On August 10, the Supreme Court removed Yabloko's federal list from the State Duma election. The ruling does not apply to candidates running in single-member districts, of whom there were 135 as of July 29. The party plans to appeal the court's decision. The lawsuit seeking Yabloko's removal from the election was filed by the Rodina party on August 7, accusing Yabloko of violations during its election campaign.
