Which parties will win at least one seat in the next Russian State Duma election?

A quarter of the nominated Ukrainian war veterans have made it to the State Duma. Forty-six participants in the Ukrainian war were elected to the State Duma following the election results, announced Ella Pamfilova, head of the Central Election Commission. This means that the remaining 153 nominated "veterans of the Ukrainian military" ultimately did not make it to the lower house. Details. Pamfilova presented the election results at a Central Election Commission meeting where the voting results were approved. She showed a slide showing statistics on the war veterans who made it to the State Duma. Forty-one of the veteran candidates who made it were nominated by United Russia, three by the Liberal Democratic Party, one by A Just Russia, and one independent, according to the slide. "They will set a certain mood," Pamfilova said of the invasion participants who won seats in the lower house. The figure Pamfilova cited was lower than the party itself had claimed. On Monday, Vladimir Yakushev, secretary of the United Russia General Council, stated that "around 86" war veterans had won seats in the State Duma from the party. The state news agency RIA Novosti, which published a report citing him, later removed it at the party's request, while TASS, citing Yakushev, reported that 49 invasion participants would receive seats. Significantly more war veterans ran for election. According to TASS estimates and the Central Election Commission, a total of 199 SVO veterans and participants participated in the elections. 110 candidates ran on federal lists and 76 in single-mandate constituencies from the parties. 80 candidates ran from United Russia, 20 each from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, and A Just Russia, 18 from Rodina, nine from the Pensioners' Party, eight from the Greens, seven from New People, four from the Communists of Russia. Another 13 war veterans ran as independent candidates. Pamfilova's statement means that 39 United Russia veterans, 19 candidates from A Just Russia, 17 from the Liberal Democratic Party, 12 independent candidates, and all war veterans nominated by other parties did not make it into parliament. According to the Central Election Commission, 76 war veterans in Ukraine ran for election from parties in single-mandate constituencies. That is, voters voted for them personally, and not for party lists. Pamfilova did not provide statistics on the winning veterans in single-mandate constituencies. At least 56 candidates did not make it into parliament in single-mandate constituencies. These are all eight single-mandate veterans nominated by parties that failed to make it into the State Duma, 12 independent candidates, all 11 candidates from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, all six from Rodina, and all five from New People, as well as at least eight single-mandate candidates from A Just Russia and six from the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia.

UNITED RUSSIA WINS 349 SEATS IN THE STATE DUMA, THE CPRF - 37, THE LDPR - 23, NEW PEOPLE - 19, A JUST RUSSIA - 17 - HEAD OF THE CENTRAL ELECTION COMMITTEE OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

The first meeting of the new State Duma could take place on September 30, Vedomosti sources reported. The authorities are currently holding consultations: traditionally, committees are distributed as part of a so-called package agreement between factions. Approximately half go to United Russia, regardless of the number of seats it receives. In recent convocations, it has had a constitutional majority, i.e., two-thirds of the seats. The remaining committees are divided between factions based on the number of deputies in each faction. In the 8th convocation, United Russia had 17 committees, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF) had 5, A Just Russia and the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia had 4 each, and New People had 2. If the parity principle remains in the new convocation, the number of committees among the opposition factions should be redistributed: the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and A Just Russia may have fewer, New People may have more, and the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia will remain unchanged.

All parties participating in the elections retained their parliamentary privileges. Yabloko and the Direct Democracy Party (PDD; also known as the Tank Party) were able to get their lists into the legislative assemblies of the Novgorod Region and the Jewish Autonomous Region, respectively. Rodina, which failed its regional campaign (its lists did not make it into any legislative assembly, including the Tambov Regional Duma, where it had a faction), also retained its parliamentary privileges. The party still has Andrei Ruzhnikov, a member of parliament on its party list, in the assembly of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug. He was elected in 2023. Retaining Yabloko's parliamentary privilege was most likely an unspoken condition for them to be outraged about their exclusion from the State Duma elections, but "within the bounds of decency," says Yevgeny Minchenko, head of Minchenko Consulting.

So-called smart voting has eliminated opposition candidates from the race for Duma seats in several constituencies during the State Duma elections, Nezygar has discovered. Yabloko was the hardest-hit party in the September 20 State Duma elections: first, the Supreme Court ruled to disqualify its list, followed by 27 candidates in single-mandate constituencies. Despite this, candidates from the party were present in 100 constituencies. Yulia Navalnaya, who is listed as an extremist and terrorist by Rosfinmonitoring, and foreign agent Maxim Katz called for voting for 81 Yabloko candidates in constituencies as part of so-called smart voting. "Thanks to" these recommendations, Yabloko members in several constituencies acted as spoilers for United Russia candidates and deprived representatives of other parties who were genuinely vying for seats. The most striking example of such "spoiling" could be observed in the Cherepovets single-mandate constituency of the Vologda region, where Svetlana Gracheva, head of the Kaduy district, nominated by United Russia, beat Alexander Morozov, a member of the Legislative Assembly from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, by just 1%. Gracheva received 25.42% of the vote, while Morozov received 24.39%. Navalnaya and Katz called for voting in this district for Vladimir Nikolaev, a Yabloko member, who ultimately received 5.99%. If not for the so-called smart voting, the United Russia candidate would most likely have lost to the Communist Party in the Cherepovets district. In the Vologda single-mandate constituency, Sergei Selyanin, former head of the Totemsky district, won with 34.16%. Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF) deputy Oleg Ershov received 17.64% of the vote, while Yabloko candidate Nikolai Egorov, favored by Navalnaya and Katz, received 6.39%. Had they recommended voting for the Communist, the outcome in this district could have been completely different. Similar cases of protest votes being effectively siphoned off in favor of United Russia were recorded in the Barabinsky district of Novosibirsk Oblast, the South-Eastern district of St. Petersburg, and the Rostov district of Yaroslavl Oblast. In these districts, Yabloko members, following "smart voting" recommendations, received between 5.95% and 8.53% of the vote. Additional list of State Duma candidates with criminal records. In the Moscow single-mandate constituency agreed upon in Tatarstan, Ruslan Yusupov, a member of the republic's parliament, wins for the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR). He has a history of convictions for abuse of power, robbery, and theft. All convictions were expunged in 2000. To ensure Yusupov's election, Alexei Grushin, a United Russia member and deputy general director of JSC Khimgrad, withdrew from the constituency in July in his favor. The withdrawal was technical: Grushin simply failed to submit the necessary documents. After 100% of the ballots were processed, Yusupov received 51.77% of the vote.

How A Just Russia achieved a historically low percentage of votes in the elections

Ksenia Goryacheva, a deputy and the author of several initiatives to strengthen gender equality, did not make it to the State Duma following the elections, a source told Vedomosti. She confirmed this information. She ran for the State Duma – for the second time – as a member of the New People party. Perhaps next year she will try to get elected from the New People party to one of the regional parliaments, the source says. [in reply to: The Central Election Commission has released preliminary election results. Currently, United Russia will have the largest faction; they could receive 355 mandates. The Communists have only 40 deputies in their faction. The LDPR has 25, and the NL has 20. The SR party does not qualify for the State Duma, but not all the protocols have been counted.

An electoral analyst reported the sudden appearance of 60,000 votes for "A Just Russia" in the Central Election Commission's system. During the vote count on Monday afternoon, approximately 60,000 votes for "A Just Russia" appeared in the Central Election Commission's system in an hour, noted electoral analyst Stanislav Andreychuk. These votes, according to him, moved the party from not qualifying for the lower house to qualifying. Details. If this data were plotted on a graph, it would show a sharp surge in the number of votes, the expert explained on Carnegie Politika. Quote. "This, of course, was a decision that had nothing to do with how it all actually happened. "It's just one phone call, a decision is made, the numbers are immediately rewritten, and that's it," the analyst believes. The sharp surge in votes for A Just Russia was previously noted by an electoral expert who spoke anonymously to the Telegram channel "Elections in Detail," which monitors the voting process. He explained that adding such a number of votes would mean the existence of polling stations where A Just Russia received an average of 14.5%, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation 4.5%, and New People 3.1%. Context. In the first half of the day, the vote count showed that A Just Russia had not overcome the 5% threshold required to enter the State Duma. When 95.18% of the protocols were counted, the party received 4.96% of the vote. However, after 96.95% of the votes had been counted, SR received 5%. After 97.37% of the protocols had been counted, SR received 5.1% of the votes. A Just Russia emerged in 2006 as a result of the merger of Rodina, the Pensioners' Party, and the Party of Life as the second party in power. The Kremlin hoped to create on the left flank what Vladislav Surkov, then curator of domestic policy in the Kremlin, called a "second leg." The party also had a more utilitarian goal - to take votes away from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. Read more about this here. Subscribe to "Agency" on Telegram / mailing list

Ruling party wins landslide victory in Russian parliamentary elections; experts say "room for mobilization expands" and "no change in political line"

FWD from CHADAEV: About "A Just Russia." You can, of course, make fun of "Schrödinger's party," but I'd rather write a memoir myself. It was 2006. The entire FEP was bombarding Surkov with memos about how United Russia was clearly becoming ossified, that they were starting to think of themselves as eternal and immortal, and that it would be nice to create an alternative to them. One of the memos was even called "the second party of power." Surkov was strongly against it. Once, he even called me into his office and gave me a lecture, which he himself called "the doctrine of the indivisibility of administrative resources." "At least make one party properly," he said. United Russia isn't a party yet, it's a blank slate, where everyone was herded with a jade baton and told to sit still. But you understand what will happen if you start stirring up a second one right next to it? All the regional "elites" who have conflicts with other "elites" in their region will flee there. Moreover, every second one of these people gets a truancy notice in prison. But now, every time, it won't be a "dispute between business entities," but "the persecution of an opposition member for political reasons." Think about it, damn it, what are you asking for. But, apparently, some more influential people were found back then, and they finally pushed the Presidential Administration into a "second party." They played on the old fetish of "we need to take votes away from the Communist Party." Well, like, there will be a more left-wing version of United Russia, and with its help we will no longer divide votes from the "party of power" (a process unbearably complicated for the bureaucracy), but take them from the Reds. But then everything went exactly according to the scenario comrade lecturer described. At first, calls from above forced a number of current officials to form initiative groups (they fought back as best they could, taking sick leave, vacations, knowing the risks). They recruited these "elitist" types, but when it came to the first federal elections, the press got involved and suddenly they were being persecuted as the real opposition. They sat there, confused: how could this be? We're here on your orders, eh? And smart people explained to them that they were now in the same position as the Communists, Yabloko, SPS, and the rest of the LDPR. Well, things eventually worked out somehow, fortunately the sovereign sent his old friend and ally Mironov to this difficult task. Be that as it may, a second ruling party didn't materialize, nor did a spoiler for the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF). The result was a suitcase without a handle, which became a headache for administrators in every subsequent campaign. And while there were people in the Presidential Administration who remembered our notes, they regularly reminded me, "Be careful what you wish for." Now they're manually pulling them down to 5%—surely, with so many respected people on the list, and the factions seem a bit underrepresented. They'll pull it up, of course. And that's good—among other things, there are quite a few decent people there. Plus, as I already said, preserving the "biodiversity" of our political ecosystem is a valuable asset, and one that's clearly in danger of disappearing. But all this, again, is related to the "party of power" phenomenon, which I've written about extensively before, and which now, after yesterday's results, is a good opportunity to revisit.
