There are 16 lists with 1,461 candidates registered for the elections.
CVK also informed that, according to the data of the Center for the
Documentation of the Consequences of Totalitarianism (TSDC), four candidates
might have served as KGB agents - Romualds Maculevics (For Latvia From The Heart), Arturs
Malta (For Alternative), Juris
Strusels (LSDSP/KDS/GKL), and Arvids
Ulme (Greens/Farmers). The
candidates, however, have not been banned from running for the parliament
elections.
Initially CVK decided to bar ten candidates from running for the
elections, but the court lifted CVK decision in case of Valdis Taupmanis
from For Alternative party.
