Voting has ended, and the Central Election Commission has announced the preliminary results. Meanwhile, reports of pressure on observers continue to come in from polling stations.

Initial results

  • According to preliminary data from the Central Election Commission, United Russia will have 355 seats in the State Duma. This will be the largest party faction in its history: the previous record was set in 2016 with 343 mandates.
  • The Communist Party of the Russian Federation is preliminarily getting 40 seats, the Liberal Democratic Party—25, New People—20, and A Just Russia—four. The latter has not yet cleared the five percent threshold for party lists.
  • The head of the Central Election Commission, Ella Pamfilova, called turnout record-breaking. According to the commission, it reached 59.32%.
  • Yabloko is entering the Novgorod Regional Duma, gaining about 6.2% of the vote. This is the only region where the party has retained a list in these regional elections.

Pressure on observers

Over three days, the “Observing Together” project recorded 316 reports of violations of observers' rights. The Central Election Commission reported 43 complaints related to the denial of access to observers and the submission of their lists, with Pamfilova claiming that most of these reports were not confirmed.
