In St Petersburg, more than a dozen members of election commissions have been suspended by court order.

In St Petersburg, around ten lawsuits were filed on 20 September seeking the suspension of election commission members and observers from the elections, most of them against representatives of the Yabloko party. In various districts of the city, people were suspended by court and commission decisions. The reasons cited included damage to security bags, conflicts at polling stations, and filming too close to the voting area, according to FONTANKA.ru.
