Abstract: The elongation methodology is extended towards description of excited states through the ab initio CIS expansions in regionally localized molecular orbital basis. The formalism and implementation of the elongation-CIS method are presented. The expected accuracy of the method in comparison to the conventional CIS approach is illustrated by the results of calculations for model systems.
