Chechnya does not have weekly newspapers and a resolution announcing the election date will be published there only on May 25. Starting from that day, those who want to run can inform the election commission in writing about their intention to collect signatures from voters or make an election deposit. The election deposit costs 4.5 million rubles. The money of candidates who fail to get 5% of the vote will go to the Chechen budget, Arsakhanov said. (Interfax)
