Russia holds 2024 parliamentary election
Global Banking & Finance Review
Russia holds a three-day parliamentary election from Sept 18 to 20, the first since its 2022 full-scale war in Ukraine, to choose all 450 State Duma members for five-year terms by party lists and single-seat districts. State pollster VTsIOM put United Russia far ahead at about 37 percent, with the Communist Party at 11.6 percent; United Russia currently holds 310 seats and needs at least 300 to retain a supermajority. The campaign environment shows constrained opposition, barred parties and candidates, no OSCE monitors and closed watchdogs, which heightens questions about transparency and international reaction.
United Russia is expected to retain dominance of the 450-seat Duma
Context
Russia launched a full-scale war in Ukraine in February 2022. This is the first Duma vote since then. Observers were not invited and watchdogs closed, so transparency may remain limited.
