This national seat summary does not include constituency-level results or a riding map. Electoral boundary verification remains pending for this election.

Chambers, official links & source information

Election figures are dated snapshots. Statutory chamber membership and the current electoral-system description come from the chamber profile; they may differ from seats contested at an earlier election. A largest-party result does not establish the governing coalition.

Source note: Note on the number of parties winning seats: In addition to the five parties listed under “Parties or coalitions winning seats”, there were three other parties that took one seat each: the Party of Growth, the Civic Platform and the Rodina (Motherland). There were thus eight parties in all. Note on Parties or coalitions winning seats: - The “Parties or coalitions winning seats” table above refers to the composition of the State Duma as at 13 October 2021. - Initially, one candidate each from three other parties – the Party of Growth, the Civic Platform and the Rodina (Motherland) – and five independent candidates were elected. The candidate-elect from the Party of Growth did not join any parliamentary group and was sworn in as an independent. The candidates-elect from the Civic Platform and the Motherland joined the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR), giving it 23 seats (up from 21). - Two independent candidates joined United Russia, giving it 326 seats (up from 324). One independent candidate joined A Just Russia, giving it 28 seats (up from 27). Two others joined the New People, giving it 15 (up from 13).

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE PARTIES

Party leadership.

2 source-reported records

Each leadership record carries its own date and source. Undated records are not verified for the election date. These names do not identify every constituency candidate or establish who governs; member-party leaders are not automatically a coalition’s joint leaders.
