Fresh Take:
The Central Election Commission's shaking things up! They've stirred the pot in electoral constituencies across Russia by reshuffling the layout of districts for the upcoming federal parliament elections.
According to the "Novy Day" news agency, the commission has proposed a revised single-mandate electoral districts scheme for the State Duma elections. The new layout takes into account significant changes in the country over the past decade, such as the unification of four new territories with Russia – Donetsk People's Republic (three districts), Luhansk People's Republic (two districts), Zaporozhye (one district), and Kherson (one district).
The number of districts has expanded in the Krasnodar Krai, Moscow Oblast, and Moscow due to an increase in voters. In contrast, the number has reduced in 10 other regions. However, the Chelyabinsk Oblast keeps its full representation in the State Duma, with five electoral districts intact.
Still, changes have happened within the territories. The Kurgan District, previously part of Chelyabinsk, is now under the jurisdiction of the Metallurgical District. Meanwhile, Troitsk departed from the Chelyabinsk District and joined the Magnitogorsk District.
At present, the Chelyabinsk electoral district comprises the Kalininsky, Traktorozavodsky, and Central districts of the city, in addition to Platovsky, Sosnovsky, Uisky, and Chebarkulsky municipal districts. The Metallurgical single-mandate district encompasses Chelyabinsk's Kurgan and Metallurgical districts, Verkhny Ufaley, Kyshtym, Ozyorsk, Snezhinsk, Nyaezpetrovsky, Kaslinsky, Krasnoarmeisky, and Kunashaksky municipal districts.
The Korinsky electoral district spans the Lenin and Soviet districts, Kopeisk, Yuzhnouralsk, Emanzhelinsky, Etkulsky, Korinsky, Oktyabrsky, and Uvelsky municipal districts.
The Magnitogorsk single-mandate district includes Magnitogorsk, Lokomotivny, Troitsk, Agapovsky, Brekinsky, Vernensky, Verkhneuralinksy, Kartalinsky, Kizilsky, Nagaybaksky, Troitsky, and Chesmensky municipal districts.
Zlatoust electoral district consists of Zlatoust, Karabash, Miass, Trekhgorny, Ust-Katav, Chebarkul, Argayashsky, Ashinsky, Katav-Ivanovsky, Kussinsky, and Satkinsky municipal districts.
Over 2.5 million voters are registered in the regions, as reported by the Central Election Commission.
