Abstract

The objective of the study is to assess the dynamism of the development of electoral legal relations of parties and candidates arising in the system of public-legal interaction of citizens, the state and civil society institutions and aimed at the implementation of passive suffrage, to establish the main patterns characterizing election campaigns at various levels when nominating candidates by electoral associations.

Research methods are based on the analysis of the modern constitutional and legal doctrine, the regulatory framework for organizing and holding elections, the law enforcement practice of election commissions, the legal positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation.

Conclusions. The dynamism of the development of legal relations between parties and candidates reflects the mutual influence and interpenetration of the subjective will of a citizen exercising passive suffrage and the decisions of a collective participant in the electoral process nominating candidates, underscores the high degree of dependence of these principles in the exercise of electoral rights. If the right to be elected is realized through the powers of an electoral association, the will of the candidate is derived from the decisions taken by the relevant electoral association nominating the candidate not only as part of the proportional list of candidates, but also in majority districts. The equality of rights of participants in the electoral process, inherent in the concept of elections, is not always confirmed by the “clash” of subjective and collective interests in the implementation of party nomination. However, in the system of interaction “state — parties — candidates”, the freedom to form the will of participants in the electoral process cannot depend only on the discretion of the parties, the federal legislator must determine effective guarantees ensuring the realization of the rights of candidates nominated by political parties. The social context of the development of law sets the vector associated with the need to take into account the interests of all participants in the electoral process.
