Notes
[edit]- ^ Initially, Mikhail Balakin collected the required number of signatures of municipal deputies, but later three deputies withdrew their signatures, and registration was denied due to lack of signatures of municipal deputies, but on 23 July, the Moscow City Court declared the refusal illegal, since initially there were enough signatures and ordered to the City Election Commission to register Balakin as mayoral candidate.
