Russia’s Central Election Commission confirmed on Friday that United Russia, the ruling party of President Vladimir Putin, secured a record 349 of 450 seats in the State Duma following the country’s first wartime parliamentary elections, held Sept. 18–20.

Commission Chairwoman Ella Pamfilova announced the final results, marking the party’s highest-ever seat count and surpassing its 2016 record of 343. The Communist Party won 37 seats, the Liberal Democratic Party 23, New People 19, A Just Russia 17, and Rodina 1, with four independents rounding out the chamber .

Pamfilova also reported that 46 war veterans—41 from United Russia—won seats, the highest number in modern Russian history. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called their election “excellent,” stating their combat experience was in high demand and would shape future initiatives .

Turnout reached 59.8%, the highest since 2011, with over 67.4 million ballots cast, including in occupied Ukrainian territories claimed by Moscow . Opposition parties critical of the war, such as Yabloko, were barred from national participation, while nominally opposition factions aligned with the Kremlin secured the remaining seats.
