Gorbachev Qualifies for Russia Ballot in June Election
Mikhail Gorbachev qualified Saturday to be listed on the ballot for Russia's June presidential election. The Central Electoral Commission certified that he had collected the required 1 million voter signatures, making him the fourth candidate on the slate. Gorbachev, 65, is expected to be a long shot with about 1 percent nationwide support, though Moscow surveys show roughly 6 percent in the capital. He joins Gennady Zyuganov, Boris Yeltsin, and Vladimir Zhirinovsky on the ballot.
