President Vladimir Putin's ruling party secured nearly 58% of early votes in Russia's first parliamentary election since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Polling concluded on September 20 following a combined missile and drone strike by Ukrainian forces against targets in the Moscow region. This operation hit strategic assets in Moscow Oblast on the night of September 19 to 20, the final day of voting for the State Duma.

The Kremlin presents these results as a sign of broad public support for the war, though domestic observers reported large scale election violations and vote manipulation. The process was tightly controlled with minimal genuine opposition, providing few surprises in the overall outcome. Official turnout figures and final results arrive Monday morning.
