What happened
The Central Election Commission announced the results of the State Duma elections on September 21, 2026. After processing more than 95% of the protocols, United Russia received 57.83% of the votes. The results showed United Russia winning a record supermajority in the lower house, the State Duma, which has dominated Russian politics for 25 years.
Why it matters
The election was the first parliamentary vote since Russian forces invaded Ukraine in 2022. While official accounts stated the results showed unity around the head of state, independent reports noted concerns regarding numerous violations during the voting process.
Early voting has begun for an election involving the State Duma.
