Meduza, together with sources close to the authorities, sums up the results of the three-day voting

After 93% of protocols were processed in the State Duma elections, United Russia received about 58% of the vote. In second place, according to the Central Election Commission, is the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (14%), in third is the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (9%), and in fourth is New People (8%).

As recently as this morning, A Just Russia was not clearing the five-percent threshold — and was not making it into the State Duma — but in the afternoon the Central Election Commission said the party had gained the necessary votes.

According to official data from the Central Election Commission, turnout was 59.32%. That is a record since 2011.
