Preliminary results of the Russian presidential elections. Preliminary election results announced on single voting day

According to the head of the Russian Central Election Commission, Ella Pamfilova, this election campaign has become the cleanest and highest quality in recent years. There were few violations, the turnout was good, but the voting results came as a surprise to many experts.

The voter won

“Despite all the skepticism, we really saw a competitive and sometimes unpredictable struggle,” Ella Pamfilova said at a briefing on the morning of September 10. “Some of the results were a surprise even to experts.” For example, the candidate from the opposition “Party of the Revival of Russia” Sardana Avksentyeva won the mayoral elections of Yakutsk.

According to Pamfilova, the voting results were determined by real voters, and the election commissions worked clearly and in strict accordance with federal electoral legislation and did not allow anyone to influence the elections. She noted that the turnout was on average the same as in the last elections, and in some places even higher. Traditionally, the Kemerovo region leads in terms of turnout - 66.41 percent of those eligible to vote came to the polling stations there. More than 15 thousand voters voted abroad.

The parties chose a civilized way of fighting for power, although, of course, they used the agenda for their own purposes, including the pension issue. “Competition and lively politics are only beneficial for the health and development of the country,” said Pamfilova. Representatives of 12 parties, including self-nominated candidates, received mandates in 16 legislative assemblies where deputies were elected. In Khakassia, Irkutsk and Ulyanovsk regions, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is in the lead. In most regions, United Russia wins, receiving 472 seats in total across party lists and single-mandate constituencies. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation comes with a small gap, followed by the Liberal Democratic Party and A Just Russia. But at the same time the lists “ United Russia"received less than 50 percent of the votes in elections to the legislative assemblies of 11 out of 16 regions.

Competition and lively politics only benefit the health and development of the country

As for non-parliamentary parties, good performance in a number of regions it shows “Motherland” and “Patriots of Russia”. In 4 regions, representatives of the CPSU were included in local legislative assemblies, in another 4 - from the “Party of Pensioners”, in two legislative assemblies the “Greens” will be represented, and in one region candidates from Yabloko entered parliament.

Ready for the second round

Governor elections were held in 22 regions, in most of which representatives of United Russia won. In the Oryol region, Andrei Klychkov (Communist Party of the Russian Federation) showed a high result - 83.55 percent of citizens voted for him, and in the Omsk region, self-nominated Alexander Burkov won with 82.56 percent. 62.52 percent of residents of the Moscow region cast their votes for the current governor Andrei Vorobyov, and in Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin is in the lead with 70.14 percent of the votes.

In the Khabarovsk and Primorsky territories, the Republic of Khakassia and the Vladimir region there will be a second round of elections, since the candidates did not receive required quantity votes. In the Khabarovsk Territory, United Russia member Vyacheslav Shport, who scored 35.62 percent in the first round, and Sergei Furgal (LDPR), for whom 35.81 percent of residents voted, will compete for the post of head of the region. In the Republic of Khakassia, Valentin Konovalov (Communist Party of the Russian Federation) with 44.81 percent of the votes and Viktor Zimin (United Russia) with 32.42 percent entered the second round. The second round will also take place in the Primorsky Territory - United Russia member Andrei Tarasenko (45.56 percent) and communist Andrei Ishchenko (24.63 percent of the votes) are leading there. In the Vladimir region, Svetlana Orlova from United Russia gained 36.42 percent, and 31.19 percent of voters voted for Vladimir Sipyagin from the LDPR.

Ella Pamfilova said that the second round of elections will be held on September 23. “With the Mobile Voter system in place, it is important that all of our services can prepare to ensure voters have the opportunity to take advantage of the system,” she said. The chairman of the election commission of the Vladimir region, Vadim Minaev, contacted the Central Election Commission directly and said that in the coming hours the regional election commission will hold a meeting on the second round of elections. IN financially There are no problems, the necessary funds were provided when the regional budget was adopted.

Four days left to file complaints

The final election results in all regions except four will be announced on Friday, September 14, at a briefing at the Central Election Commission at 11:00. Before this, the CEC is going to consider all received complaints. Ella Pamfilova urged everyone who discovered any violations to contact the commission. On this moment there are 20 percent fewer complaints than in the previous elections. And three times fewer citizens expressed dissatisfaction with the work of election commissions than before.

The voting results were canceled only at seven polling stations - in the Ulyanovsk, Moscow, Vladimir regions, as well as in Kalmykia and Buryatia. In Kalmykia, information has appeared about the alleged stuffing, and now the investigative authorities are conducting an investigation. In Buryatia, an attempt was also made to stuff ballots. In Barnaul, a voter mixed up the ballot boxes. Several extra ballots for the gubernatorial elections were found in the Vladimir region. Ella Pamfilova noted that not only the number of violations has decreased, but also their scale, and this is a significant step forward in ensuring the cleanliness of the campaign. The quality of the elections was also affected by the fact that turnout and voting progress were displayed online.

Reference

In total, direct elections of the highest officials in 22 regions: Amur region, Moscow, Khakassia, Yakutia, Altai, Krasnoyarsk, Primorsky and Khabarovsk territories, Vladimir, Voronezh, Ivanovo, Magadan, Moscow, Kemerovo, Nizhny Novgorod, Novosibirsk, Omsk, Oryol, Pskov, Samara, Tyumen regions and Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. In 16 regions - Bashkiria, Buryatia, Kalmykia, Yakutia, Khakassia, Transbaikalia, Arkhangelsk, Vladimir, Ivanovo, Irkutsk, Kemerovo, Rostov, Smolensk, Ulyanovsk, Yaroslavl regions and the Nenets Autonomous Okrug - they elected deputies to legislative assemblies.

In seven single-mandate districts that became vacant over the past year, by-elections to the State Duma were held, and in 12 regions, elections of city dumas of regional centers were held. Also in three regions- Ingushetia, Dagestan and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug - deputies of regional parliaments elected the heads of these subjects from a list of candidates presented by the President of the Russian Federation.

Presidential elections - most important events for any country, because they are the ones who determine what its near future will be like. The recent vote in Russia is no exception. The results of the 2019 Russian presidential elections indicate a landslide victory for the country's current president, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.

The voting results did not surprise either experts, outside observers, or the participants in the presidential race themselves. What happened was exactly what political scientists expected and what most polls predicted.

To be convinced of this, just look at the results of pre-election research by VTsIOM, where Putin was named the clear favorite. Similar information is provided by monitoring trust ratings, which have been at record highs for several years now. high levels.

Despite the fact that the exact results will be made public a little later, approximate data on the votes collected can be seen now. According to available on this moment According to information, the vote count showed the following results of the 2019 presidential elections in the Russian Federation:

• Putin received the approval of more than 76.67% of voters;
• Grudinin came second, scoring just over 11.79%;
• Zhirinovsky was slightly behind the communist representative, gaining almost 5.66%;
• opposition representative Ksenia Sobchak remained fourth, receiving the support of about 1.67% of voters;
• Yavlinsky - received 1.03 - 1.04% of the votes;
• the remaining candidates received the approval of less than 1% of citizens participating in the elections.

The final figures may still change slightly. But, given the difference between the performance of the current head of state and his main competitors, we can now confidently say that he will continue to hold his position for the next 6 years.

Information on public turnout

Political scientists and experts were also pleased with the turnout of voters who decided to vote for their candidate. According to available information, about 54.41 million of the country's voting population (that is, adults and capable citizens) attended voting.

Despite the fact that such results were predicted by experts and expected by representatives of the Central Election Commission, the final result can safely be called a victory for democracy and a success of the election campaign.

Besides high rate turnout, experts highlight another extremely interesting nuance. Last weekend, voters were particularly active in exercising their right to vote outside their place of residence. They declared such a desire in advance and received documents allowing them to do so. As a result, 3 times more people took advantage of this opportunity than in previous years.

Key trends ahead of the vote

It is also noteworthy that the current results are close to those observed during the pre-election debates. In recent months, there has been a slight decline in the popularity of the main candidates for victory and an increase in the chances of their competitors. Thus, polls showed a slight drop in Vladimir Putin’s rating. Compared to the beginning of the year, they fell by 3-4%. It should be noted that they reached their highest level over the past year in August and January. At that time, the trust and approval rate was 77%.

But, given the huge gap between the current head and his rivals, such changes are not of fundamental importance and do not affect the final result and the general degree of public confidence in the head of state.

Russian Presidential Election Voting Results 2019

To summarize, the first step is to once again highlight the turnout indicator positively. He was at the highest level for recent years level and clearly reflected the population’s interest in political life countries. Almost 2/3 of citizens with the right to vote took advantage of the opportunity to express their will.

Assessing the preliminary results of the 2019 Russian presidential elections, it is necessary to especially emphasize the confident victory of the current leader of the country, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. The number of votes he received clearly indicates the population’s faith in the head of state and support for his chosen course. In addition, such results give him the opportunity to continue his endeavors and support the previously chosen course of development of Russia.

MOSCOW, March 18 – RIA Novosti. Preliminary data from the Russian Central Election Commission and exit polls from VTsIOM and FOM indicate Vladimir Putin’s victory in the presidential elections in the Russian Federation: he is gaining from 71.9% to 76.3% of the votes.

— Those administrative technologies, the appearance of which we recorded even before the elections, have appeared. Basically, these are signals of coercion to vote. In particular,

there are very strange data on intraregional electoral migration, which is more than 4 times higher than interregional migration (we are talking about those people who voted not at their place of registration)

The number of those attached and detached across different areas is distributed very unevenly. In addition, people came to the polling stations in organized groups. This indirectly confirms that many voted under pressure. Unfree participation in elections is enough large groups people is the first important problem.

There are questions about the home voting procedure. Election commissions complain that people who either do not live at the stated address or are already deceased have somehow expressed a desire to vote. In other cases, people complain that they cannot find themselves in the lists, or that the lists have different check marks. Let's see if there are any spikes in the distribution of votes.

There are several dozen signals about stuffing of various calibers, mainly based on video surveillance results. The Central Election Commission promptly responded to some cases - for example, the Moscow Regional Electoral Committee of ballots at a polling station in Lyubertsy near Moscow. In Karachay-Cherkessia, a police officer tried to throw a stack of ballot papers into a ballot box.

Another problem is signals from people who are unhappy with the design of polling stations. For example, there was a flurry of calls from Grudinin’s voters who demanded that leaflets with information about his foreign accounts be removed from posters. People also complained about portraits of the current president on stands in polling stations - in Dagestan they hung directly above the secret voting booths.

We have not yet seen any obvious cases of falsification, such as mass carousels. Administrative technologies were mainly used before voting day and concerned unequal media coverage, transfer of the president's message, and so on. Voting day does not play such a role here, it is simply a “general calculator” of votes.

The PR effect of the campaign to increase turnout was certainly noticeable: by 8 am the polling stations were already full. Considering that there was no great intrigue in these elections initially, queues of voters from the very morning are a very exotic phenomenon.

Rostislav Turovsky

— In most regions there is an increase in turnout compared to previous ones presidential elections— you can report on the successful mobilization of voters. It must be admitted that it was unprecedented, and, most importantly, effective. The vertical worked, the governors got involved - they traveled around the region, launched awareness campaigns. It is clear that 80-90% turnout cannot be achieved under any circumstances, but through organizational efforts it was possible to raise the bar by several points. And this is already an achievement.

Interestingly, the national republics, which gave extremely high turnout results, are behaving more restrained this time. They went from being fantastic to becoming more real.

Cleanliness and transparency there, compared to the previous campaign, have increased - that’s a fact. Observation and attitudes that presupposed a less active use of administrative resources played a big role in this.

In my opinion, the level of turnout and the ratio of votes between candidates generally reflect real picture. One can argue and debate for a long time about the violations committed, but the resulting result is quite objective.

The election result corresponds to the level of support that Vladimir Putin has. And what happened with Grudinin, who actually started his federal political career from scratch, is a very good result.

It is worth waiting for the results for Moscow and St. Petersburg. Then it will be possible to talk about whether Sobchak has acquired her own electoral potential, which she can convert into support for herself or her party during future election campaigns. Judging by the trends that exist at the moment, I would cautiously say that there is potential.

It is no coincidence that Sobchak became the target of attacks from Alexei Navalny, who, following the election results, realized the seriousness of his own problems. Still, in these elections she declared herself as a politician (even if her percentage of votes in the country as a whole was small) and demonstrated her ability to attract voters. For her political career this is definitely a step forward. How she will manage this capital is another question.

But there is no need to say that Navalny’s indirect participation in the elections was successful.

And it is not entirely clear how he will continue to organize his activities under these conditions. As a result of this campaign, Navalny did not earn any political points, and it is simply ridiculous to talk about the success of the boycott of the elections with such a turnout, including in the capital’s centers. He will probably once again have to rebuild his strategy in order to remain in the political field in some role.

Alexander Kynev

— Everything is absolutely expected: the turnout is more than 60%, Putin has about 70%, Grudinin is second. It will be interesting to compare the final turnout data in the regions with previous elections and the distribution of votes between candidates. What if there are interesting nuances there? And so everything was extremely predictable and the outcome was a foregone conclusion.

The administrative excesses demonstrated by the authorities of a number of regions were absolutely unnecessary to anyone and in fact only worked to discredit the elections. I believe that everything could have been carried out more correctly, calmly, without hysteria around observers and excessive pressure on voters.

Those candidates who should have failed, given the quality of their campaigns, deservedly failed. First of all, I mean conditionally democratic candidates - the result of Sobchak, Yavlinsky and Titov is absolutely natural.

I believe that this is a verdict that proves that Sobchak initially waged a campaign to discredit the democratic movement.

In principle, Grudinin’s campaign was initially organized unsuccessfully. The image accents were made incorrectly, the game of counterattacks was absolutely not worked out, the candidate was simply put under attack. This whole story with Stalinism and strange visits to debates turned Grudinin into a hero of the yellow press. There is a feeling that the entire campaign was built around another candidate; it did not fit Grudinin’s personality at all. Stereotypes have overcome common sense. But, and this is also predictable, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation has a stable electorate, ready to vote even for Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov.

Boycotting Navalny is, in fact, just a way to distance oneself from supporting anyone. After all, it is absolutely clear that supporting failed campaigns from an image point of view is extremely harmful. Based on the overall results, Navalny's political rating is higher than that of Sobchak, Yavlinsky and Titov combined.

In fact, at these elections there was a struggle of the old nomenklatura to maintain its status. The task was not to admit anyone new, and if they did admit it, it would be such a caricature candidate that would definitely not interfere with its former monopoly. They were the true beneficiaries of the campaign, not even Putin.

Dmitry Oreshkin

— I was amazed by the huge number - 6 million people who registered at their place of stay. This is a technology that increases turnout and support. Thanks to this, the overall turnout rate will be higher than in previous elections. Still, 6 million is almost 10% of the number of voters. This is proof that there are smart people in the Kremlin. But 70% turnout will not work, I think. If last time the figures were 65.3%, now, apparently, it will be somewhere around 67%. It turns out that they removed the night falsification, but replaced it with absentee ballots.

Of course, these elections could be cleaner, we saw new incentives for this - observers appeared in Chechnya, where previously they were not allowed in principle.

At least in Grozny they played their role, which was reflected in the turnout figures. Under observation, you still can’t figure out 99% so well. But overall, these elections have not become much cleaner, but they haven’t become dirtier either. We have remained at the same level.

The results for the candidates are also quite predictable, approximately at the same level as last time. Ksenia Sobchak, perhaps she will gain about 3%, and maybe even more when they connect central regions. In any case, she will have more votes than Yavlinsky. And its results should be assessed based on its objectives. It is unlikely that she expected to win these elections, but they would not put an end to her political prospects.

Chairman of the "Civil Initiative" party, which nominated Ksenia Sobchak

- Of course, I would like there to be more. But these are results where Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Nizhny Novgorod and other major cities, things may still change. But if we consider these elections as primaries of the democratic opposition, then we won them.

Grigory Yavlinsky

Russian presidential candidate

“We knew very well what kind of campaign it would be.” We understand what it is like to participate in elections in an authoritarian system. However, this was our common political decision. Its essence is as follows. Putin's policies pose a danger to the future of the country. The economy has stopped, there is no growth, and citizens' incomes are falling.

According to official forecasts, 20 years of stagnation await us. Putin has no idea how to get out of this impasse.

We have shown this in detail. Macroeconomic policy was proposed, monetary policy, everything was shown. The second thing we talked about was isolation. Russia has been brought to the line. War can start anywhere. And third: Putin has no idea that the law should be the same for everyone. Poverty, inequality, injustice. None of these problems are central to the current government.

This time we approached the campaign in a new way. We talked to people directly. We are sure that millions of people heard us. We have young people who work with us, and they will really need our Path to the Future program. And the main contradiction is that the future is already coming, but the authorities have no idea about it.

The future can only be built free people. People who are willing to take risks. People who have equal opportunities. This is undeniable. I want to thank the party for its incredible efforts. Special thanks to all those who voted for me today. We don't stop. This is our country, and we will not give it to anyone.

On March 18, a vote was held in our country and abroad, during which citizens of the Russian Federation elected the head of state for the next 6 years. 8 candidates ran for the post of the new President of the Russian Federation; 85 constituent entities of the Russian Federation and approximately 111 million voters took part in the event. Let's sum up the results of the presidential elections and find out the final results of the 2018 voting.

List of applicants

In total, from December 18 to January 12, 70 applications were submitted to the CEC from candidates for the post of head of the Russian Federation, including 46 self-nominated candidates and 24 representatives of state parties.

As a result, the commission registered 8 candidates:

• Vladimir Putin (65 years old) is the current president, a self-nominated candidate. The result at the last vote was 63.6%.
• Pavel Grudinin (57) is a candidate from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, participating in elections for the first time.
• Sergei Baburin (59) is a nominee from the Russian All-People's Union. He has not previously participated in presidential elections.
• Vladimir Zhirinovsky (71) – candidate from the Liberal Democratic Party. Became a presidential candidate for the 4th time. The result in the 2012 elections was 9.35%.
• Ksenia Sobchak (36) – candidate from the Civic Initiative. This is the first time I have submitted my candidacy.
• Maxim Suraikin (39) – a nominee from the Communists of Russia, has not previously taken part in elections.
• Boris Titov (57) – Party of Growth, applied for voting for the first time.
• Grigory Yavlinsky (65) – co-founder of the Yabloko party. The last time he ran for president was in 2000, 5.8% of citizens voted for him.

Election turnout

According to the Central Election Commission, voter turnout reached 67.47%, which exceeds the 2012 figure, when 65.34% of Russian residents took part in the voting.

At the same time, this level of civil responsibility of the population is not an absolute record - in 2008, when Medvedev was elected president, the turnout was 69%.

Purity of voting

Despite modern technical equipment polling stations in the form of web cameras and electronic ballot boxes; during the elections in several regions of the country, cases of ballot stuffing and other violations were noted.

Also, before election day, there was some pressure on citizens from the media and coercion to vote from employers budgetary institutions.

According to the Associated Press, these facts do not cast doubt on Putin's crushing victory, since the absolute majority of voters voted for him.

Election results

According to the CEC

The Central Election Commission submitted the following data based on the processing of 99.83% of ballots. The final results will be announced after a few days.

Exit polls data

The statistical error ranges from 0.7% to 2.5% depending on the volume of the indicator (0.7% for indicators below 1% and 2.5% for indicators above 10%).

The survey was conducted	Sample	Putin	Grudinin	Zhirinovsky	Yavlinsky	Sobchak	Titov	Baburin	Suraikin	Invalid ballots
VTsIOM	132601	73,9%	11,2%	6,7%	1,6%	2,5%	1,1%	1%	0,8%	1,2%
FOM	112700	76,3%	11,9%	6%	1%	2%	0,7%	0,6%	0,7%

As expected, the results of the preliminary voting confirmed the final results of the Russian presidential election. Putin won an unconditional victory and set two new records: he collected the maximum number of votes in percentage and quantity of all those previously participating in the elections.

President's plans for the new term

During his election campaign, the current (and new) president of Russia began to implement his election promises. In particular, Putin approved a number of bills in support of his demographic reform.

After the vote, the president held a press conference at his campaign headquarters, during which he spoke about further actions. According to Putin, he has no plans to introduce global changes to the Constitution of the country, but personnel changes in the government will definitely occur, but only after its inauguration.

The president has not yet decided on a candidate for the post of prime minister; perhaps the position will remain with Medvedev.
