The decision to accept the claim has not yet been made. In March, the Supreme Court had already refused to challenge the voting order.
An administrative lawsuit has been filed with the Supreme Court challenging the presidential decree to hold a vote on 1 July to amend the Constitution, Interfax reports.
The defendant in the lawsuit is President Vladimir Putin, a citizen Gennady Rudyak has filed a lawsuit. The judge will decide later on whether to accept or reject the claim.
Moscow City Duma deputy Evgeni Stupin wrote about another lawsuit in the Supreme Court against the decree on voting. According to him, the plaintiffs were Stupin himself, his colleague Oleg Sheremetyev, political analyst Valery Solovey and lawyer Sergei Bocharov. Nightingale on his Facebook confirmed this information and promised that the text of the lawsuit will be published tomorrow.
On June 10, the Armed Forces already refused to accept a similar statement of claim filed by Viktor Meshcherinov, Interfax writes.
In March 2020, the Supreme Court rejected the lawsuit against Alexander Artemyev, member of the Moscow precinct election commission No. 2566, who claimed that election commissions only organize and conduct elections and referenda, and therefore it is illegal to assign them an obligation to conduct an all-Russian vote.
The Supreme Court did not see any violations or contradictions in Putin’s order to vote on constitutional amendments. The court ruling said that "the order of the president of the Russian Federation is organizational and administrative in nature." It states that the preparation of an all-Russian vote is entrusted to the CEC of Russia. The decree also says about the participation in the preparation of the vote of regional election commissions, territorial election commissions and precinct commissions. “This order does not impose any duties directly on members of the precinct election commissions,” wrote Supreme Court judge Nikolai Romanenkov in the ruling.
