RIA Novosti writes about this with reference to the draft agenda for the CEC meeting. 

Also, members of the election commission tomorrow will consider issues regarding the notification of identified deficiencies in the documents that were presented to the CEC by Anatoly Batashev and the Russian Rada.

On January 31, the CEC announced the completion of accepting signature sheets from presidential candidates.

A candidate for the presidential elections in Russia from the non-parliamentary Democratic Party of Russia (DPR), Irina Sviridova, was unable to collect the required number of voter signatures in her support.

The day before, a beauty blogger from Yekaterinburg, the Russian Rada, submitted signatures to the Central Election Commission for registration in the upcoming presidential elections.

At the same time, environmental blogger Anatoly Batashev announced his decision to refuse to participate in the presidential elections.

Also, the founder of the Russian Freedom and Justice Party, Andrei Bogdanov, said that he withdrew from the presidential election race because of an open foreign account.

Chairman of the Russian All-People's Union Sergei Baburin announced that he was withdrawing his candidacy from the presidential elections. He did this immediately after submitting signatures for registration to the CEC.
