First person
The head of the Central Election Commission, Ella Pamfilova, promised to harshly cancel the election results in those polling stations where violations would be recorded on voting day. "Do not rush to sum up, at the appointed time, please consider all the complaints received, if necessary, recount, if necessary, cancel," Pamfilova addressed the regional election commissions. "We will be very tough to cancel where there are violations," she said. At the same time, the head of the CEC noted that there were fewer complaints about the use of administrative resources. "As for preventing the use of administrative resources, now we see that there are much fewer such complaints - already in this campaign, I hope that we will continue to keep this situation under strict control," Pamfilova said.
An exception is, perhaps, the city of St. Petersburg, in which annually in the summer, at the end of June, a large-scale holiday-festival of school graduates "" is held. Based on the convenience of holding festive events, the date of the holiday is assigned to the weekend (usually Saturday) closest to the longest white night.
When is the 2020 High School Alumni Reunion Evening?
In 2020, the evening of the meeting of school graduates will be held February 1, 2020 .
The evening of the reunion is also sometimes referred to as Homecoming Day, since the activities begin "before dawn", during the daytime. But gatherings with former school friends invariably drag on and end in the evening, and sometimes late at night.
What years (issues) are found in schools in 2020:
According to tradition, graduates gather for the first evening of the meeting in a year after high school, and beyond on anniversaries, multiples of five (every 5 years).
In 2020 it will be:
* 2019 release - 1 year.
* 2015 release - 5 years.
* 2010 release - 10 years.
* 2005 release - 15 years.
* 2000 issue - 20 years.
* 1995 release - 25 years.
* 1990 issue - 30 years.
* 1985 issue - 35 years.
* 1980 issue - 40 years.
* 1975 issue - 45 years.
* 1970 issue - 50 years.
When university graduates gather for reunion evenings:
Unlike former classmates, former classmates hold their meetings in the summer. There is no single date for meetings of university graduates, so each higher education institution chooses it independently.
In 2020, this will be one of the Saturdays from June to September.
How are the meetings going?
On the first Saturday of February (in 2020 - February 1), if you graduated from school last year, or your graduation is anniversary (i.e., a multiple of five years have passed since graduation), you must come to your home school in person.
First you need to know the time of the beginning of the festive events. Usually, an announcement with the date and time of the start of the official part is posted on the official website educational institution. Information is also disseminated through social networks in which former classmates communicate.
The "heroes of the occasion" are gathered in the assembly hall, where a festive event is held for them. Pupils who have not finished school yet speak to the audience: they read poetry, sing songs, play funny scenes "a la Yeralash". Congratulatory speeches are made by the director and teachers. At the end of the official part, former students are asked to come up on stage and say a few words about themselves and their favorite school.
After the solemn part is over, the celebration moves to the classrooms, where classmates gather separately together with their former class teachers. Not without gifts - it is customary to chip in in advance and give the class teacher flowers and a symbolic (and sometimes valuable) gift. It would not be superfluous to thank him for the work and the years spent on you.
Homecoming evening is a time of memories, so be sure to bring school photos or photo albums with you to help you remember the best moments from school life.
There are schools that are loyal to the long gatherings of former students in the classroom with food and liquor. However, you should not abuse such kindness, especially since it can be significantly limited in time. It is best to continue the celebration in a cafe or restaurant. The main thing is to take care of booking a hall or a table of the required size in advance, since there are no empty seats in such establishments on the date of the evening meetings.
MOSCOW, May 15. /TASS/. The regional elections, which will be held on the single voting day on September 10, 2017, will be held according to the updated legislation. This was announced by the Deputy Chairman of the CEC of the Russian Federation Nikolay Bulaev.
In March, members of the Federation Council Andrei Klishas and Anatoly Shirokov submitted to the State Duma a package of amendments to the electoral legislation, which, in particular, provides for the abolition of absentee ballots, strengthens the possibility of video surveillance and Internet broadcasts from polling stations, facilitates the work of observers at the presidential elections, and allows for the disaggregation of voting plots and toughens liability for falsification. The amendments were adopted in the first reading on 12 April.
"It is quite possible that all the elections that will be held in the regions (elections of legislative assemblies and governors) will be held under the new law, we must be prepared for this. September, a single voting day, the elections will be held under the new law," Bulaev said. at a meeting of the CEC working group on legislative innovations.
The deputy chairman of the commission noted that the September elections will be an "important test" on the eve of the presidential elections in March 2018. "I think those more than 20 campaigns that will take place in the regions will allow us to see both the positive aspects of the new law and the shortcomings that may arise in organizing the activities of election commissions," Bulaev concluded.
About the September 10 elections
On a single voting day, which falls on September 10 in 2017, elections of deputies to legislative assemblies of six regions are scheduled, and elections of heads of 17 constituent entities of the Russian Federation will also be held (in 16 - nationwide). In addition, deputies of city dumas of administrative centers in 11 regions will be elected.
In addition, by-elections of a State Duma deputy in the Kingisepp single-mandate district in the Leningrad Region are coming. In this district, the Duma elections in 2016 were won by the speaker of the State Duma of the previous convocation, Sergei Naryshkin, but he was appointed head of the Foreign Intelligence Service and the mandate remained vacant.
These elections will be the last before the presidential election campaign in the Russian Federation. The presidential elections should take place in March 2018, and the campaign should start at the end of this year.
Very little time remains before the start of the Single Voting Day, which in 2017 will fall on September 10th. Virtually all over Russia, local elections will be held, which are very important from a political point of view for determining the future of our country.
Currently, in a huge number of regions of the Russian Federation, the election campaign is coming to an end. Various candidates and parties are trying to lure voters to their side. Many Russians are asking the same question: who do we choose on this day according to the list of candidates? According to the tradition that has developed over many years, voters will have to choose between candidates from the following parties: United Russia, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, the Liberal Democratic Party and Fair Russia.
The CEC was told that all candidates for governors and ZSK regions have already been registered. The Electoral Commission has launched a "hot line" to clarify the work and provide additional information - tel. 8-800-301-12-09.
This year, the work of polling stations and the procedure for elections have been slightly changed. In particular, absentee ballots have been abolished, which allows a citizen to vote outside their region by simply writing an appropriate application at the polling station at the place of residence.
United Russia has traditionally put forward the largest number of candidates in the elections (1,477 people - 105 more than in 2008), however, in percentage terms, the share of candidates from the party in power of the total number of registered candidates fell to 19% - from 42% in 2008.
Elections of deputies of municipal assemblies will be held in Moscow on September 10. In total, almost 1,500 mandates will be distributed. The nomination of candidates for mayor of Moscow in 2018 will depend on the support of the deputies elected in 2017 - it depends on them whether the candidates will be able to pass the municipal filter.
