The City Court of Derbent, Dagestan (a Russian constituent region), annulled the results of a recent mayoral election. According to official results, the incumbent mayor, representing the ruling “United Russia” party, won the election. Opposition representatives alleged numerous violations, including failure to open polling stations on election day. United Russia will likely appeal. Judicial cancellation of election results is rare in Russia, and unprecedented in the North Caucasus.
