This is convinced Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Housing Policy and Housing and Communal Services Pavel Kachkaev. "The parties can not refuse publicity in nominating candidates," the deputy said.. He noted that the activity of citizens is growing every year. But in order to involve even more residents of the regions in the choice of candidates from the EP, it is necessary to improve the procedure, for example, by introducing electronic voting, Kachkaev suggested. The initiative to increase the openness of the party is agreed by the deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, Information Technologies and Communications Marina Mukabenova. "We must always be open to voters and be frank with them. I think that with each passing preliminary vote is gaining momentum in a positive way, "- said Mukabenova. The deputy said that in 2016. she participated in the preliminary voting and could evaluate all the advantages of the procedure. "At the venues during our speeches, everyone could come and listen to the candidate's program. There are no prepared questions. When the candidate talks about his program, the voter can ask questions in the process already in the process, "she explained, stressing that such a useful practice should be continued.

As a result, we get a better power, "- said Osipov. He also noted the effectiveness of the new project of EP "PoliticalStartap", which enables young people to learn from experts from a higher level. "They are very lucky, because at the start of their political path they already have qualitative examples that they should strive for, leaders who should imitate," said Osipov. In 2018 year.
