Federal Law No. 106-FZ of July 12, 2006 on the Amendments to Individual Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation Refining the Procedure of Nomination of Candidates to Elected Positions in the Bodies of State Power <br>
The amendments specify that the State Duma deputy may only be a member of the political party in whose federal list of candidates he was permitted to participate in the distribution of the deputy mandates in the State Duma, thus prohibiting the transfer of deputies from one political party to another, which is expected to provide for stability of activities of deputy associations (fractions). Violation of the given rule shall imply an early termination of the deputy authority. At the same time, the law permits the party member deputy to leave it to become a non-party deputy. His authority in this case is not terminated.
The mentioned provisions shall apply also to the deputies of the legislative (representative) bodies of state power of the subjects of the Russian Federation. Since a mixed election system is used in the elections of the given level (through party lists and by districts), the deputy fractions beside deputies of political parties having formed the fraction may include the deputies elected in single-mandate (multiple-mandate) districts. The deputies elected from political parties may not leave the fraction. The deputies elected in the districts and forming part of the fraction must be either the members of the party having formed this fraction or non-party members. The failure to observe the mentioned requirements implies an early termination of the deputy authority.
The Law introduces a prohibition for political parties to nominate as candidates for deputies and to other elected positions in the bodies of state power and local government the citizens being members of other political parties. The given prohibition restricts opportunities of parties failing to enjoy a real support of the electorate to use resources of more powerful parties to get positions in the bodies of state power and local government.
The Federal Law is entered into force from the day of its official publication. Provisions pertaining to the deputies of the State Duma of the Russian Federation and legislative (representative) bodies of state power of the subjects of the Russian Federation do not apply to convocations elected before the entry into force of the Federal Law. The prohibition to nominate the candidates of other political parties applies to legal relations pertaining to elections assigned after the entry into force of the given Federal Law.
