CEC: parties that nominated candidates must publish their program by March 6. The program must be published in at least one all-Russian state periodical and on the Internet.

The election commission reminded that the program should not contain signs of extremism, incite discord, or promote exclusivity, superiority or inferiority of citizens on any grounds. Earlier it was reported that the Central Election Commission had not yet made a decision on the final number of registered candidates for the presidency of Russia. The CEC of Russia has yet to make a decision.
