138 thousand people registered to participate in the preliminary voting.

      May 14, 2026 17:26 Society In the region, the registration of voters for participation in the preliminary voting of the United Russia party is in full swing. This procedure is unique to the domestic political system. Any citizen can choose a candidate who will participate in the autumn elections to the Legislative Assembly of the Nizhny Novgorod region and the State Duma of the Russian Federation. "Voter registration is actively ongoing. As of today, 138 thousand people have already registered to participate in the preliminary voting. We are observing particular activity in the northern part of the Nizhny Novgorod region: in many municipalities there, registration has exceeded 10 percent of the number of voters. We see a high interest from citizens in the procedure. Candidates are posting videos, talking about their activities. There is a fair, open political struggle. I am confident that the strongest will win in this race," said Dmitry Filipenko, head of the regional executive committee of the United Russia party. For Nizhny Novgorod residents who find it difficult to go through the electronic registration procedure on their own, the party has set up special sites. In the Public Support Headquarters and local branches of United Russia, volunteers and activists provide consultations and comprehensive assistance. "The volunteers working at the Public Support Headquarters of the United Russia party are very knowledgeable. They helped me a lot. Thank you very much to them. Now I will register at home myself and will be able to vote for the deputy who interests me the most," shared Nizhny Novgorod pensioner and voter Anna Grigoryevna Lyamina. In addition to personal consultations, volunteers conduct group sessions for all interested. Nizhny Novgorod residents who have completed training help their neighbors, relatives, and acquaintances to register. "In our local community, there are many elderly people who would like to participate in the voting, but it is difficult for them. A big thank you to United Russia for organizing training with volunteers. They helped us, and now we will pass this knowledge on to our friends so that they can also vote. We have been used to fulfilling our civic duty since our youth. Thanks to such assistance, more and more people will be involved in voting," said pensioner and voter Elena Vladlenovna Pryakhina. We remind you that the collection of proposals for the new People's Program of United Russia continues in the region. The governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region, secretary of the Nizhny Novgorod regional branch of the United Russia party Gleb Nikitin, previously announced the start of this stage.
