349 seats for United Russia CCTV cites final results

Sep 25

CCTV reports Russia’s Central Election Commission announcing the final ninth State Duma results on September 25, with United Russia winning 349 of the 450 seats. It explains that this exceeds the two-thirds threshold for a constitutional majority and for passing federal constitutional laws. The brief gives the official result, with no independent election-integrity assessment.

Russia's Central Election Commission announces final State Duma results on September 25. Vremya gives United Russia 349 seats, the Communist Party 37, LDPR 23, New People 19, A Just Russia 17, Rodina one and four independents. It reports nearly 67.5 million voters, seven million remote electronic participants and 46 military-operation veterans elected. The feature covers official and invited-observer judgments of the process, party reactions, a Kirov-region ballot error and plans to review Communist complaints. Deputy credentials are due September 29 and the first sitting is planned for September 30. These are the broadcast's official figures and attributed assessments, rather than an independent election audit. CCTV's September 26 brief explicitly attributes United Russia's 349 of 450 seats to the commission's September 25 announcement. It explains the two-thirds constitutional-majority threshold and supplies no alternative count or integrity assessment. Vremya's September 27 weekly review repeats the final seat allocation, gives 67.45 million voters and turnout near 60 percent, and relays parliamentary-party reactions and plans for the new Duma. The later recap does not create another certification date. The final allocation is a later development than the preliminary totals; no independent reconciliation or proof of voters' motives is supplied. Reported attacks on election workers and Sanaikina's account retain separate occurrence identities.
