Preliminary results of the State Duma elections in Russia have been announced. After processing 87.91% of the protocols, the United Russia party is gaining 57.87% of the votes.
This is evidenced by data from the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation.
The Communist Party of Ukraine (KPRF) is currently in second place with 13.84% of the vote. The Liberal Democratic Party (LDPR) is gaining 8.86% , and the New People party is gaining 7.94% .
Thus, after counting almost 88% of the protocols, four parties have overcome the five percent barrier. A Just Russia, which had over 5% in the early stages of counting, later fell below the passing barrier.
The vote count is still ongoing, so these results are not final. The head of the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation, Ella Pamfilova, previously stated that the final election results should be announced no earlier than September 25 .
The State Duma elections were held on September 18–20. The Russian authorities also organized voting in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.
