MOSCOW, October 24 (RIA Novosti) - The Chairman of the Russian Central Electoral Commission said Friday that new Federation members would emerge in Russia after the unification of far-eastern Kamchatka region and the Koryak Autonomous Area.

Alexander Veshnyakov told a news conference that 84.87% and 89.04% voted for the unification in Kamchatka and Koryakiya respectively, with a voter turnout of 52.23% and 76.71% respectively, and no violations reported, meaning the merger is now legal.

The head of the new Russian Federation member, the Kamchatka territory, which has a population of about 400,000, will be nominated by 2007, he said.

The Kamchatka territory is the third of what is being called a composite district, targeted by Russia's authorities.

The Perm Territory, the first in the group, united the Perm region and Komi-Permyak, which comprises more than 160,000 square kilometers and has a population of about 3 million, when the unification came into effect December 1.

Another new large Russian Federation member, the Krasnoyarsk territory, uniting the Krasnoyarsk territory, the Taimyr (Dolgano-Nenets) and the Evenki autonomous areas (all in Central Siberia) to form a population of more than 3 million, will emerge January 1, 2007.

Preparations are underway for the unification of the Irkutsk region and the Ust-Ordynsk (Buryat) autonomous district in Siberia, along with of the Krasnodar territory and the Republic of Adygeya in the south of Russia, Veshnyakov said.
