A Just Russia fails to clear threshold for State Duma party-list seats after 95% of ballots counted, election officials say
A Just Russia fell short of the 5% threshold required to enter the State Duma, drawing 4.96% of the vote on party lists with 94.95% of ballots counted.
The party has not yet commented on the preliminary results.
United Russia leads the federal list with 57.83% of the vote, followed by Russia’s Communist Party (KPRF) at 13.81%, LDPR at 8.97%, and New People at 7.06%.
The Russian business news outlet RBC reported that United Russia candidates are ahead in 209 of the 225 single-mandate districts. KPRF is on track for five seats, A Just Russia and independent candidates four apiece, LDPR two, and Rodina one.
United Russia could once again secure a constitutional majority in the State Duma, according to preliminary data, a feat that would require 301 seats. The chamber has 450 seats in total, half allocated through federal party lists and half decided by voting in single-mandate districts.
