These days, the Central Electoral Committee (CEC) from Tiraspol makes the final lists of the people with the Russian citizenship who will have the right to vote on March 2nd when the presidential elections will be held in Russia, DECA-press Agency communicates.
According to the information offered by the authorities from Tiraspol, there are around 110 thousand Russian citizens living in this region. The total number of people having the right to vote in Transnistria constitutes 533 thousand people.
It is supposed that these 110 thousand people will be on the lists, although the experts believe that not even a half will take part in the presidential elections. They refer to the results of the elections held in December 2007, when the members of the Russian Duma were elected. Around 40 thousand people from this region took part in the elections then.
It is known that the majority of the participants are the supporters of the party „Edinaya Rosia”. Its candidate at the presidential elections is the Vice-Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev. // DECA-Press
