Russia elections show high turnout and United Russia majority amid coercion claims
Official results from Russia’s legislative and regional elections show a 59.3% voter turnout, the highest recorded since 2011. The United Russia party secured 58% of the vote, providing a majority sufficient to amend the Constitution.
Independent Russian media, including Meduza, have reported that these results were achieved through state coercion and pressure on voters. Reports suggest the Presidential Administration, involving figures such as First Deputy Director Sergei Kirilenko, utilized 'corporate mobilization' to instruct state corporations and officials to ensure high turnout, specifically encouraging the use of Remote Electronic Voting (DEG).
