Russia is unable to release the full election results due to data issues

Russia’s Central Election Commission has yet to release the final vote tallies from polling stations in 21 constituent entities of the Russian Federation and four temporarily occupied Ukrainian regions, even though the “elections” to the State Duma ended on September 10. Election expert Ivan Shukshin drew attention to this.

As of 3:00 p.m. on Monday, voting results were completely missing from the Leningrad Oblast, as well as from the four Ukrainian territories annexed by Russia in 2022. According to Shukshin’s observations, as reported by the “Agency,” 84% of the data from the border region of Kursk was not displayed in the “Elections” system, while in Yakutia, information from 10% of polling stations is missing. In Transbaikal, Karachay-Cherkessia, and Chechnya, data from 6% of polling stations was missing.

Incomplete information—ranging from 2% to 5% of polling stations—was also available for the Chelyabinsk, Volgograd, Belgorod, Kirov, and Novosibirsk regions, as well as Kabardino-Balkaria, Buryatia, the Kamchatka Territory, and Kuban. In six other regions, including Moscow and the Moscow Region, according to Shukshin’s analysis, results from 99% of polling stations have been published.

At the same time, data on the results of voting by party lists is missing for the Murmansk Oblast. Election analyst Roman Udot previously stated that the delay in releasing the data is due to “irreconcilable mathematical contradictions” that arose from the falsification of voter turnout and results by “United Russia” and “Fair Russia.”

This is reported by Russian propaganda media.

In the occupied Donetsk region, elections to the Russian State Duma were concluded ahead of schedule.
