Russia’s parliamentary elections in 2016 lasted nearly 9 months. The ruling party won 344 seats in the 450-member Duma in a campaign it claimed was based on the principles of fairness, transparency.
During Russia's parliamentary elections the staff of the government agency tasked with overseeing elections worked to gain votes for ruling party candidates. How can this be termed fair, transparent and legal competition? To carry out fair and just elections, the state shall set up an independent "Supra-national Action Committee on Human Rights and Citizenship" with half of the members of various nationalities and nominated by international human rights organizations. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
