Voter Turnout in Russia's State Duma Elections Reaches 59.8%, CEC Says
Central Election Commission chairwoman Ella Pamfilova said more than 67.4 million people cast ballots.
Voter turnout in Russia's State Duma elections stood at 59.8%, Central Election Commission (CEC) chairwoman Ella Pamfilova said, according to TASS.
Pamfilova said a total of 67,448,094 people cast their ballots in the elections.
The State Duma is the lower house of Russia's Federal Assembly, and elections to it are held periodically under the country's electoral system.
The CEC did not provide a regional breakdown of turnout figures in the available reporting, nor did it detail the final distribution of seats among competing parties.
Election turnout figures announced by the CEC are typically followed by further updates on official results as vote counting and verification processes continue.
