The election of heads of subjects of the Russian Federation this September will be held in 16 regions. In addition, the elections of the heads of the five republics will be held.
In the Republic of Adygea direct elections of the head of the subject of the Russian Federation will not take place. The deputies of the State Council on March 23, 2016 abolished popular elections, establishing a new procedure for appointing the head of the republic. Now the parties submit their candidatures for consideration to the president of Russia. He identifies three candidates, of which the local parliament elects the head of the republic by ballot.
More than two hundred referendums, which will be held on September 10 throughout the country, will be devoted to a variety of issues. For example, in the Republic of Karelia there will be four referendums. Residents of the Belomorsky district will say "yes" or "no" to the construction of an oil refinery, residents of the Kemsky district will decide the fate of the seaport. In the Pitkarantsky region, a merger of two schools will be determined, and in the Olonets region - the resumption of the work of the local cinema.
However, most of all referendums in a number of municipal districts will be devoted to self-taxation of citizens. That is, one-time payments directed at solving specific tasks of local importance.
