Tomsk Elections 2025: Identifying the Parties Eligible for the Vote

The city of Tomsk, Russia, is gearing up for its 2025 city council elections, taking place from September 12 to 14. The polls will be held under a mixed system, with 10 deputies elected from party lists and 27 from single-mandate districts.

A total of 294 candidates will be vying for the 37 available seats in the city council. The largest representation comes from the United Russia party with 29 candidates, followed closely by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF) with 30 candidates. The Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR) has 29 candidates, while 'New People' and 'Fair Russia' have 25 and 35 candidates respectively. 'Yabloko' has 16 candidates registered for the elections.

The field also includes representatives from other parties and independents, numbering 4 candidates. Interestingly, 5 candidates for the single-mandate districts are self-nominees, with one self-nominee participating in the elections. Initially, there were three self-nominees, but due to registration refusals, some candidates had to submit their documents multiple times.

The elections will be held at polling stations throughout the city, from 8:00 to 20:00. Unfortunately, the 'Motherland' party failed to provide the necessary signatures and will not have any candidates registered for the elections.

The diverse field of candidates reflects the multi-party competitive environment in regional Russian elections. The ballots for the elections will feature representatives from six parties: United Russia, CPRF, LDPR, 'Fair Russia', 'Yabloko', and 'New People'.
