Highlights
The institution of governorship, as one of the main institutions of regional state power, plays an important role in the political system
The Provision on the Legal Regulation of the Political Party Activities adopted by the Venice Commission contains the rule that, despite the fact that one of the main functions of political parties is to nominate candidates for elections in order to gain and exercise political power, the participation of a person in elections as a candidate of a political party is an expression of his personal right to be elected, as a result of which laws must secure the personal right of a citizen to run for office (Article 126) [6]
The following can be concluded: 1. The constitutional characterization of the Russian Federation as a democratic state governed by the rule of law requires elections held in Russia to be true elections and not to be accompanied by unjustified restrictions on the right of citizens to participate in them, including through self-nomination
