The article examines the presence in the Russian electoral law of an electoral qualification for voting for people with mental problems. The features of modern legislation are investigated and the differentiation of the degree of legal capacity of voters with mental illness is analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the evolution of the main provisions of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation within the framework of this issue, and the case of I.B. Delovaya, showing the imperfection of suffrage in relation to people with mental problems. The importance of the existence of an intermediate state for voters with mental disorders, who are able to independently make decisions and direct their actions, is revealed. As a result of considering the problems faced by voters with mental health problems in Russia, it is noted that the electoral qualification for voting for voters with mental health problems is based only on the determination of legal capacity through forensic examination.
