United Russia expects to win more than 75% of seats in all representative government bodies at the regional and municipal levels, Deputy Secretary of the General Council of the EP Sergey Perminov told Izvestia.

"We set ourselves the goal of 75% + 1%, that is, we must form political majority factions everywhere that are able to make qualified statutory decisions. This is the task that all regions face in forming our factions," he said.

On a single voting day (EDG) on September 14, 20 governors, deputies of legislative assemblies of 11 subjects and deputies of city assemblies at the municipal level in 25 regions will be elected.
