Russia's wartime Duma election: record turnout, United Russia wins 57.5%

Russia concluded three-day State Duma elections with the highest turnout in 15 years, and the Central Election Commission reported United Russia won 57.54%. The election occurred during wartime, with the same five parties retaining seats, suggesting continuity amid conflict. The result is likely to reinforce the Kremlin's control, though the lack of independent verification and wartime conditions raise questions about electoral integrity.
