Candidates from the Liberal Democratic Party were nominated in 20 districts, in 12 districts candidates from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation were nominated, in 9 districts candidates from A Just Russia party were nominated. In the 5th district the only candidate from Rodina party was nominated, and in the 19th - from Yabloko democratic party. During the elections, according to the news agency "Belomorkanal", one candidate brought people to the polling station at school №9. [3] The head of the city, Igor Skubenko, who had been elected three days earlier, [4] voted at school №13, in which the leaking roof was disguised under a flower bed. [5]

The elections were guarded by the police, which presence at polling stations was estimated at up to 1.5 thousand throughout the region. [6] By 2 pm there were several arrests in Severodvinsk because of the campaign (the campaign period had ended up on September 8). [7]
