Near-complete count gives United Russia a larger constitutional majority
Russia’s Central Election Commission said United Russia had 57.83% of the vote after 95.18% was counted and was projected to win 355 of the State Duma’s 450 seats. The preliminary allocation would exceed the 300 seats required for a two-thirds majority by 55 and surpass the party’s previous record of 343 seats. Remaining ballots could still adjust the figures.
