United Russia Wins Record Number of Seats in State Duma Election, Officials Say
- On Friday, the Central Election Commission reported State Duma turnout exceeded more than 59 per cent, with United Russia claiming 355 seats in the lower house of Russia's parliament.
- Prior to polling, the Kremlin struck Yabloko from party lists and purged non-systemic candidates, with voting occurring amid digital blackouts and documented coercion of public-sector workers across Russia.
- Applying the Shpilkin method, statisticians estimated actual turnout at about 40% against official figures, while analyst Boris Ovchinnikov identified artificially inflated turnout at around 69% of offline polling stations.
- Official preliminary counts awarded United Russia 355 seats, yet statistical studies suggest the party would have secured only 87 list seats without fraud, falling short of the 301-seat constitutional majority.
- The Russian Election Monitor assessed the elections as "neither free nor fair," characterizing them as an administrative ritual to demonstrate regime durability rather than a genuine measure of public opinion.
