Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] The 2026 State Duma Elections saw a turnout of over 56.5%. This is one of the highest turnout rates in the history of State Duma elections in the Russian Federation. Only 3,300,000 people voted electronically. The rest went to the polling stations.
In Sevastopol, turnout was over 61%. This is above the national average. This is despite the fact that there have been raids every day in recent days, including today (eight were killed).
The vote count has begun.
Judging by the initial results, my prediction was almost correct.
1. United Russia - will have over 50%.
2. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation - a confident second place, well ahead of United Russia and the third- and fourth-place finishers. Stability.
3-4. NL and LDPR (the intrigue is this: I predicted that NL would slightly overtake LDPR, but so far in the counts, LDPR is slightly ahead of NL)
5. SR - on the verge of passing the electoral threshold. The rest, as expected, did not make it.
