The Central Election Committee proposed new election committee heads in six regions and the Central Election Committee recommended candidates for new compositions of 32 regional election committees. They now have to be approved by governors and legislatures. In most regions it was proposed to re-appoint existing managers. Exchange of chairmen is expected in Dagestan, Komi, Belgorod, Kirov, Novgorod and Sakhalin regions. Proximity area attracts special attention. The head of the regional election committee, Galina Burkova, was not among the recommended candidates. Ella Papilova stated that the Central Election Committee is parting ways with her "without any regrets". In September, during the elections to the regional legislative assembly in Kirov, the vote in one-mandate district number 25 had to be canceled: 32 thousand ballots did not contain the names of two registered candidates from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and the Party of Pensioners. Kommersant's sources in the region link the change in personnel to this incident. Such a relationship has not been officially confirmed.
