ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGAL GUARANTEES OF CONSIDERATION OF APPEALS OF POLITICAL PARTIES AT THE STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT BODIES

The article examines the procedure for considering appeals from political parties. The article analyzes the legislation in this area and its evolution in recent years. Despite all the legislative innovations, the legal regulation of consideration of appeals from political parties is very weak. Many legal norms cannot be applied to public associations as collective entities. Considerable attention is paid to administrative and legal guarantees of consideration of citizens’ appeals. Conclusions are drawn about the weak legal guarantee of the right of political parties to appeal. At the same time, this right is no less significant in comparison with the same right of individual citizens. However, the regulatory acts of the Federal Executive bodies and other administrative structures regulating the consideration of appeals do not detail the norms of the Federal legislation on consideration of appeals of public associations. This prevents them from exercising their right. The article focuses on certain legal requirements of the Federal legislation on consideration of appeals, which create uncertainty in implementation of this right for political parties. The authors suggest ways to eliminate uncertainties. Among public associations, the most significant role is assigned to political parties. Therefore, article 5.59 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation is proposed to be supplemented with two parts that strengthen administrative responsibility for violation of the established procedure for considering appeals of both public associations in general and political parties in particular. As conclusions, the author defines the administrative and legal guarantees for consideration of appeals from political parties, sets out the key arguments for the need to make changes in the Federal legislation in this area and other regulatory legal acts of various entities authorized to consider appeals from public associations.
