Commission chief Ella Pamfilova said the results would give United Russia about 355 of the 450 Duma seats, exceeding its 2016 record of 343 and retaining its constitutional supermajority. Final results are due by Friday at the earliest.

The liberal Yabloko party, which ran on an anti-war platform, was removed from the federal party list by Russia's Supreme Court in August and won no single-mandate districts. Party leader Nikolai Rybakov said some of its candidates were jailed or barred.

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas called it a setback for Russian democracy, while Shanghai Cooperation Organization observer Piao Yangfan said her mission found the elections "transparent, credible, and democratic."

Calling this an election insults the word. The one party that dared oppose the war, Yabloko, got erased from the ballot by the Supreme Court twelve days after registering, with two of its deputy leaders sitting in prison and candidates jailed or barred. A record 355 seats for United Russia proves nothing except that a vote with no real choice delivers whatever the Kremlin orders.

Anti-Russia narrative

More than 62 million Russians turned out and handed United Russia a massive victory while cyberattackers hammered the voting infrastructure with over 1,000 waves of DDoS assaults. Ten parties competed, four cleared the threshold and international observers from the Shanghai Cooperation Organization found no violations, calling the vote transparent and credible.
