Abstract

According to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, local self-government is exercised by citizens through various means of direct expression of will, among which, in addition to a referendum and elections, special consideration should be given to the recall of elected representatives of local self-government. A recall is a sanction of municipal legal responsibility, the basis of which is the commission by a deputy or other elected person of local government of any wrongful act, and the content is the early termination of the person's authority on the initiative of the population. Thus, recall is not only a form of democracy, an institution that allows citizens to exercise and exercise their own democratic potential, but also a means of public control over the activities of people's representatives. The relevance of this topic is due to a number of theoretical issues (feasibility, legal nature, constitutionality) of the recall, and the presence of a multitude of problems arising at the stage of its implementation. This article is devoted to a complex of problems hampering the implementation of the responsibility of elected representatives of local self-government to voters. The author pays special attention to the analysis of the reasons for the actual absence of a recall in practice and the search for solutions that can turn a nominal institution into a really functioning mechanism of direct democracy at the level closest to the population – the level of local self-government. The article concludes that it is necessary to reform the legal procedure for conducting a withdrawal in order to further improve this legal institution. Based on the analysis of normative legal acts, a conclusion is made on the need to improve the current legislation in the field of regulation of grounds and the procedure for revocation. The author comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to develop a unified mechanism for attracting to municipal legal responsibility in the form of a withdrawal by clear regulation of this institution at the federal level with certain features provided for by the charters of municipalities
