The number of deputies in Kirov Oblast will increase.
As a reminder, the bill introduced by 21 deputies of the Legislative Assembly proposes to establish a new scheme for the Legislative Assembly's operation in the region, which would be in effect for 10 years. Among the main changes is an increase in the number of deputies to 45. It is proposed that 30 be elected in single-member districts and 15 from party lists. Currently the Legislative Assembly has 40 deputies, 27 of whom are elected in districts and 13 from party lists. The new scheme will be applied when forming the eighth and subsequent terms.
Deputy Sergey Mamaev asked what justified the change in the number of deputies. According to him, this is not the first time — at one time there were 54 deputies, then it was reduced to 40, and now they want 45. He was told that this was due to an increase in the number of residents — that is, voters — in Kirov and the growth in the number of districts. Mamaev, in response, called it a manipulation ahead of the elections. Deputy Albert Bikaluk expressed doubt that increasing the number of deputies is what the people — who were not asked about it — want, and questioned whether it makes sense at all.
In the end, the majority of deputies (36 people) voted for the initiative. The bill was adopted in two readings.
