State Duma deputy from the Sverdlovsk region Andrei Alshevsky proposed as one of the methods to increase the political activity of the population holding a referendum on the renaming of the region. Thus, he proposes raising the turnout in the presidential election in March 2018.
"The beloved Sverdlovsk region traditionally refers to the territories where the attendance of polling stations" lame ". Hypothetically, we are discussing what issue could be discussed in our discussion. After all, the lotteries at this time to indulge in the field will not allow. Correctly! Renaming the region ", - wrote Alshevskih on his Facebook.
The parliamentarian recalls that a similar method is used by the authorities of the Komi Republic. On the day of presidential elections, they plan to hold a referendum on the postponement of the capital.
