The gubernatorial election in the Samara Oblast in 2018 was the second election of the governor of the Samara Oblast , a Russian federal subject in the Federal District Volga , after the re-introduction of direct election in the gubernatorial election in the Samara Oblast 2014 . The election took place on September 9, 2018.
Starting position
In the first direct election of the governor since 2000 on September 14, 2014, Nikolai Ivanovich Merkushkin of the United Russia party clearly won the election with 91.35% of the vote and became governor of Samara Oblast. He took office on September 23, 2014. On May 10, 2012, following the resignation of Vladimir Vladimirovich Artjakov, he was appointed interim governor at the suggestion of President Vladimir Putin . The appointment was confirmed on May 12, 2012 by the Duma of Samara Oblast .
Nikolai Ivanovich Merkushkin resigned from the office of governor of Samara Oblast on September 25, 2017 at his own request. Dmitri Igorewitsch Azarov became temporary governor until the September 9, 2018 election, in which he ran for the United Russia party.
Electoral system
All citizens entitled to vote have one vote that they can give to one of the registered candidates. A candidate is elected if he receives more than 50% of the votes cast, i.e. an absolute majority . If no candidate receives this number of votes, a second ballot will be scheduled, in which the two candidates with the most votes from the first ballot will participate. In the second ballot, a candidate only needs to receive a relative majority to win the election. This case can occur because blank ballot papers also account for part of the overall result, so that both candidates receive less than 50% of the votes and, for example, 2% are blank ballot papers. In the first ballot, the blank ballot papers also make up part of the overall result, where an absolute majority is required, taking into account the blank ballot papers.
