According to the new procedure of forming of the State Duma, the deputies will be elected in a federal election district in proportion to the number of votes of the electorate having favoured the federal lists of candidates. The federal lists of candidates shall be proposed only by political parities permitted to participate in the elections.

The federal list of candidates may include not more than 500 candidates. The federal list of candidates may contain the general federal part consisting of not more than 3 candidates and shall be divided into the regional groups of candidates on the obligatory basis numbering at least 100. The regional part of the federal list of candidates must include all subjects of the Russian Federation.
The law defines the procedure of collection of signatures, checking of the lists of signatures, registration of the federal lists of candidates, as well as the requirements to the election deposit.
Procedure of information support of the election of the deputies of the State Duma, including the election campaigns of political parties, did not change significantly as compared to the previous one.
The financing of the measures pertaining to preparation and carrying out of the elections shall be implemented at the expense of resources of the federal budget. Political parties having put forward the federal lists of candidates must create election funds to finance their election campaign. The limiting amount of all expenses from the resources of the election fund of a political party may not be greater than Rbl 400 million. Besides, election funds may be created by the regional divisions of political parties.

As a result of election of the deputies of the State Duma, deputy mandates shall be distributed among federal lists of candidates each of which has received at least 7% and more of the votes on condition that there were at lest two of such lists having collected in total more than 60% of the votes of the electorate having participated in the vote. The Law also envisages the cases when deputy mandates may be distributed among the federal lists of candidates having failed to overcome the 7% barrier. If none of the federal lists has received 7% and more of the votes, or all federal lists of candidates have received in total 60% and less of the votes, the election of the deputies of the State Duma are considered to have failed. A new method of proportional distribution of the deputy mandates is adopted.
