The Constitution of Russia of 1993 in article 32 enshrines the electoral rights of Russian citizens – the right to elect (active suffrage) and the right to be elected (passive electoral right) to state and local government bodies. In the same article, the Constitution of the Russian Federation establishes restrictions on the electoral rights of Russian citizens.

The principle of universality is put forward in the first place among the principles of suffrage, and means the provision by the state of the majority of its citizens with the right to participate in the formation of public authorities.
