The Central Election Commission of South Ossetia registered Marat Kambolov as a candidate for the position of president of the republic, reports the state information agency "Res" on August 17, citing the press service of the Central Election Commission.

In addition, the Central Election Commission approved the form of protocols on the results of voting and election results, the form of a summary table compiled by election commissions, determined the total volume of paid and free print space in printed publications, approved the procedure for producing election ballots, their quantity, and the voting procedure for observers and other members of election commissions.

Recall that after a meeting with Vladimir Putin on June 22, Alan Gagloev was appointed his advisor and announced his resignation from the post of president of South Ossetia. The head of the republic's government, Marat Kambolov, was appointed as the acting president of South Ossetia. Early presidential elections in South Ossetia are scheduled for September 18. During Gagloev's presidency, the degradation of political and social institutions continued in South Ossetia, and the outflow of the population from the republic reached such proportions that a new presidential candidate was sent from outside, analysts told the "Caucasian Knot".
