In addition to this resolution, adopted at the beginning of the congress, the Central Committee considers it necessary to add, on the basis of later data, the following. The total number of full-fledged votes of our party was finally determined by the congress to be 71, i.e., 62 votes from 31 full-fledged organizations and 9 votes from the central institutions of the party. The Kremenchug, Kazan, and Kuban committees were not recognized by the congress as full-fledged. Present at the congress with decisive votes were delegates from the committees: Petersburg, Moscow, Tver (at the end of the congress), Riga, Northern, Tula, Nizhny Novgorod, Ural, Samara, Saratov, the Caucasian Union (8 votes, i.e., equaling four committees), Voronezh, Nikolaev, Odessa, Polesye, North-Western, Kursk, and Orel-Bryansk. In all, 21 organizations with 42 votes, then delegates of the Central Committee and representatives of the Central Committee in the Soviet, with a total of 4 votes. Altogether 46 votes out of 71. With consultative votes, there were present delegates from the Arkhangelsk Committee, the Ural Union (a second delegate, who arrived toward the end of the congress), the Kazan Committee, the Odessa Committee; and from the groups: Ekaterinoslav, Kharkov, Minsk, the editorial board of "Vperyod", and the committee of the Foreign Organization. The delegate of the Kremenchug Committee expressed a desire to take part in the work of the congress, but arrived too late. Further, the delegates of the third congress received during its sessions a document from which it is evident that, thanks to the efforts of the Organizing Committee to create an all-party congress, the following representatives of organizations traveled abroad: the Petersburg group of the Central Committee, the Odessa group of the Central Committee, the Nikolaev Committee, the Kharkov Committee, the Kiev Committee, the Ekaterinoslav Committee, the Kuban Committee, the Don Committee, the Donets Union, the Siberian Union, the periphery of the Moscow Committee, the Sormovo periphery, the Smolensk Committee, the Crimean Union, and the Ukrainian Social-Democratic Union. This document is a letter to the "Comrades assembled at the congress by invitation of the Organizing Committee," a letter signed by representatives of all the named organizations. From this it is evident that the Organizing Committee really succeeded in securing the possibility of an all-party congress in the full sense of the word.

The congress had a total of 26 sittings. On the order of the day were tactical questions: 1) Armed uprising. 2) Attitude towards the government’s policy on the eve of and at the very moment of the coup. 3) Attitude towards the peasant movement.
