PoliticsYabloko set to lose its last regional seats as fifth region moves to bar party from ballot

The Pskov Regional Court removed Yabloko’s list from the ballot for legislative elections, saying an authorization form submitted to election officials carried a seal missing required information. The ruling followed a challenge by Rodina. Yabloko says Pskov is the fifth region where officials have sought to block its regional election bid; the party’s list was previously removed in St. Petersburg, Leningrad region, and Karelia.
