ABSTRACT

Introduction. The The author discusses conceptual electoral innovations, identifies problems in regulating the nomination and registration of candidates for deputies and other elected positions, as well as problems in law enforcement practice in terms of the implementation of passive electoral rights. It is concluded that the dynamic development of electoral legislation demonstrates the need for continuous improvement of legal mechanisms for the protection of electoral rights by means of constitutional proceedings. Analysing the practice of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, the author identifies a number of patterns relating to the problems of regulating and implementing the procedure for nominating and registering candidates for elected office Methods. The article uses a comprehensive approach combining various research methods (analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, statistical methods, comparative law methods, empirical methods, etc.). These methods have been tested by constitutional law science. Results. As a result of the study, the author concludes that, by recognising the unconstitutionality of certain provisions of electoral law, the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation not only removes them from the legal sphere, but also has a significant influence on their amendment, as it imposes on the legislator the obligation to make the relevant changes and additions.
