Russian legislative voting starts amid Ukraine conflict
The Duma elections for the ninth term have begun in Russia, lasting three days until September 20. This is the first legislative election held since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine in February 2022. Voters are choosing 450 members through a mixed system that includes voting on party lists and individual constituencies, with major parties such as United Russia, the Communist Party, and the Liberal Democratic Party participating. The process has been monitored by more than 380,000 international and local observers. These elections are taking place amid ongoing escalations in missile and drone attacks between Russia and Ukraine, including areas controlled by Moscow in Ukraine, which Kyiv and other countries condemn. Preliminary results are expected to be announced after polling stations close, with the Central Election Commission gradually releasing the vote count.
