Tsik summed up the preliminary results of the elections. Preliminary election results announced on a single voting day What are the preliminary results of the presidential election

At 21:00 Moscow time on March 18, voting in the presidential elections in the Russian Federation ended. The last polling stations closed in the country's westernmost region, Kaliningrad. It was only after that that the first voting results began to be made public.

According to the exit poll from VTsIOM, the absolute leader was Vladimir Putin, with 73.9% of the vote. In second place was the candidate from the Communist Party Pavel Grudinin with 11.2% of the vote. The third position was taken Vladimir Zhirinovsky(6.7%). On the fourth line is Ksenia Sobchak from 2.5%, bypassing the leader of Yabloko Grigory Yavlinsky from 1.6%. In the top three outsiders were Boris Titov (1,1%), Sergey Baburin(1.0%) and Maxim Suraikin (0,8%).

The Central Election Commission, after processing 30% of the ballots, presented preliminary results, which are slightly different from the exit poll. Vladimir Putin is also in the lead with a score of 73.11%. The remaining candidates have the following results: Grudinin - 14.96%, Zhirinovsky - 6.73%, Sobchak - 1.39%, Yavlinsky - 0.77%, Baburin - 0.62%, Suraykin - 0.61%, Titov - 0.59%. As the ballots are processed, the numbers may change, but the overall disposition is likely to remain unchanged.

At the same time, if we take into account that there are about 109 million voters in the country, and about 60 million came to the polling stations, 43 million voters cast their votes for Putin, which is even less than in 2012 and which is clearly less than even half of the electorate, not to mention the population of the entire countries where, as you know, more than 144 million people. That is, one hundred million Russians did not vote for Putin. At the same time, Grudinin, who was so diligently "drenched" by federal channels, scored more than eight million votes. If he had the same access and such praise in the media, then it is not difficult to imagine his result.

However, the votes are still being counted. The CEC promises to present the preliminary results of the elections around midnight. The vast majority of the protocols of precinct commissions with the results of voting in the 2018 presidential elections of the Russian Federation will be entered into the Vybory GAS system between 2-3 am Moscow time.

“We will not introduce foreign countries yet, not all precinct election commissions will present us with the results of the vote. We will have up to 99.9% by 2 a.m.,” said the deputy head of the CEC Nikolai Bulaev. The deputy head of the department also said that the consequences of hacker attacks on the CEC website were prevented.

It can be stated that the voting took place without any special incidents and violations and was characterized by a relatively high turnout. “There are no large-scale violations that could affect the will of Russian citizens and could indicate a failure,” the Ombudsman said. Tatyana Moskalkova at a meeting of the apparatus following the results of the monitoring of the electoral process. And the speaker of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko expressed the opinion that society had passed the test of political maturity.

At the beginning of the voting, Free Press wrote that another winner of the elections is the Central Election Commission and its head Ella Pamfilova. Until now, the turnout in presidential elections in Russia has never exceeded 70%, although it has been approaching this figure. So, in 2008, more than 69% of voters came to vote, and it was the same in 1996. In the last elections, the turnout was 65.3%.

At the beginning of voting, it seemed that the 2018 elections were characterized by more active voters. As of 10:00 Moscow time, the turnout, according to Ella Pamfilova, was 16.55%. For comparison, in 2012 only 6.53% of voters had voted by this time. By 12:00 pm, 34.72% of citizens had already given their ballots. However, then the growth of this indicator began to slow down. At 18:00, according to the CEC, the turnout was 59.93%, which means it is still clearly lower than in 2012.

The final turnout figures will be presented along with the preliminary results of the elections, and so far this is perhaps the main intrigue of the vote. Although the head of staff of Grigory Yavlinsky Nikolai Rybakov has already acknowledged that the idea of ​​a boycott of the elections failed, and presidential candidate Ksenia Sobchak said that the voting was much more transparent than last time.

Nevertheless, there were reports of violations, although not massive ones. For example, Alexey Venediktov, the editor-in-chief of Ekho Moskvy reported that at one of the polling stations a voter threw two ballots into the ballot box. Yabloko representative, TEC observer Pavel Melnikov stated that he personally voted twice by absentee ballot within the framework of the Mobile Voter system. Chairman of the Moscow City Electoral Committee Valentin Gorbunov called these messages "pure provocation" and suggested that Melnikov "is not all right with his head." At some polling stations, possible stuffing of ballots was recorded, for example, at polling station No. 1480 in Lyubertsy and polling station No. 326 in the city of Artem. The ballot boxes with alleged stuffing were sealed.

The most serious electoral scandals occurred outside of Russia. In Ukraine, the police blocked polling stations in consular offices where citizens of the Russian Federation could vote. Despite the indignation of the Russian Foreign Ministry, the OSCE washed their hands, saying that Moscow and Kyiv should resolve this issue on their own.

There were also provocations during the early voting of Russian citizens in the United States. The Ambassador of the Russian Federation Anatoly Antonov. According to him, the buildings where the vote was supposed to take place were “doused with muck”. There were also cases of threats against people who allowed their premises to be used for voting. At the same time, as eyewitnesses write in social networks, there is a high activity of voters at foreign polling stations, at many points there were even queues of those who wanted to vote.

Recall that eight candidates took part in the presidential elections in the Russian Federation: Sergei Baburin (Russian People's Union Party), Pavel Grudinin (KPRF), Vladimir Zhirinovsky (LDPR), Vladimir Putin (self-nominated), Ksenia Sobchak (Civil Initiative), Maxim Suraikin (Communists of Russia), Boris Titov (Party of Growth) and Grigory Yavlinsky (Yabloko).

The results of the elections must become known no later than three days after the voting. The deadline for summing up the results of the elections is March 30, and the publication of the results is until April 1. The winner and the new president of Russia for the next presidential term 2018-2024. the candidate who receives 50% of the vote becomes the candidate.

If no one succeeds, a second round is scheduled, in which the two candidates who receive the maximum number of votes participate. The inauguration of the new president is held on the day the term of office of the current leader of the country ends - May 7.

Recall that in Russia the second round of presidential elections was held only once - in 1996, when the Russians chose between the incumbent president of the Russian Federation Boris Yeltsin and leader of the Communist Party Gennady Zyuganov. However, now we can say with almost complete certainty that there will be no second round, and Vladimir Putin won a landslide victory.

As political scientists say, the main question is exactly how many votes the voters cast for the incumbent president. As for the results of the other candidates, they indicate that a demand has matured in society for the renewal of the entire political system, both the authorities and the opposition.

“The preliminary results of the elections did not bring any surprises, both in terms of the overall balance of power and taking into account percentages,” says director of the Institute for Applied Political Research Grigory Dobromelov.- Most likely, the indicators of Vladimir Putin and Pavel Grudinin will grow, but the distribution of seats will remain the same. And castling between Baburin, Suraykin or Titov does not fundamentally affect the result.

The most important thing now is not even the percentage of turnout and votes received by Putin, but their absolute number, which Vladimir Vladimirovich can receive as a result of these elections. It is important that the total number of voters who voted for him exceed 54 million people. That is, if the total number of voters we have is 107.2 million, it is necessary that the incumbent president receive more than half of the votes. For the presidential administration, this is a very important milestone, which, I think, will be overcome.

SP: Why is this so important?

Vladimir Putin has never received more than 50 million votes. The maximum result was 49.5 million voters. But Dmitry Medvedev in 2008 gained 51 million votes. Therefore, it is important for the incumbent president and his team to overcome this psychological level.

"SP": - If this succeeds, will this confident result somehow affect the attitude of the West towards the Russian leadership?

- Six months ago it became clear that there was no need to fight for the interpretation of the elections in the West, because they would be recognized as illegitimate by default. The West does not recognize the results of the voting in Crimea, which means it will say that the elections as a whole are not entirely legitimate. Also, Western partners will insist that it was necessary to allow for elections Alexei Navalny and in general will look for fleas in the electoral process.

"SP": - And what can be said in general about the results of the so-called liberal opposition - Ksenia Sobchak, Grigory Yavlinsky?

- The liberal opposition drove itself into a kind of electoral ghetto, from which neither Sobchak nor Yavlinsky could get out. Their result is not an indicator that the opposition has 3-5% of the votes. This is the result of ineffective mobilization. Although all the candidates, with the resources they used (and no one used them to the maximum), got exactly the result that they had worked out.

"SP": - Nevertheless, Ksenia Sobchak managed to get around Grigory Yavlinsky ...

- It is natural. Grigory Alekseevich, in fact, hammered the last nail into the lid of his political career.

Director of the Center for Political Studies of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation Pavel Salin believes that the results of the presidential elections indicate a request for a renewal of power.

“We saw that with a very serious consolidation of resources and efforts, the authorities managed to sell the population the idea of ​​maintaining the status quo with some bows. Nevertheless, judging by the preliminary results, the demand for the renewal of the political system in a broad sense is crystallizing more and more clearly - both the authorities and the opposition, which in fact are sparring partners of the authorities.

"SP": - But the incumbent president seems to be winning by a huge margin. Doesn't this mean that society is happy with everything?

- No, this update request is not egregious, but it is. Now the main intrigue is what the turnout will be. Let me remind you that in 2012 it was 65.3%. If this figure is lower now, the authorities will simply make statements that the turnout is unprecedentedly high without reference to numbers. Despite the extreme strain on the resources of the authorities, despite the massive propaganda campaign to attract people to the elections, despite the simplification of the electoral process with absentee ballots, it is becoming more and more difficult to mobilize the population.

"SP": - And what about the results of other candidates?

- If the gap between Zhirinovsky and Grudinin remains so serious, this will also indicate a request to update the visual range of power. The people who voted for Grudinin did not vote for a member of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, not for an oligarch and a Stalinist, as his opponents positioned him. They just voted for a new face. And the fact that this new face scored a fairly high result, having participated in the elections for the first time, indicates that a request for renewal has formed.

As for the other candidates, Baburin and Suraykin practically did not hide the fact that they were spoilers. If we talk about Sobchak, you need to wait for the results of voting in large cities, Moscow and St. Petersburg. The same is true for Titov. But Grudinin's second place was predictable, and this is a good result for him. Although he was under very tough pressure and his campaign was carefully moderated. If he had not been interfered with, Grudinin could count on a result two or three times more than he would score in the end, purely due to the effect of novelty and personal charisma.

"SP": - How will the election results be perceived in the West?

- External players understand that they have no chance to destabilize the situation under the slogans of illegitimate elections. Instead, a larger campaign has been launched to discredit the Russian regime. The authorities should prepare for this, but this is no longer a matter of an electoral campaign, it is a matter of a long-term strategy. And from the point of view of the electoral campaign, the West has no chance of striking at the legitimacy of the presidential election results.

Follow the results of the elections in the special topic of "Free Press" -

Presidential elections are the most important event for any country, because they determine what its near future will be like. The last vote in Russia is no exception. The results of the Russian presidential election in 2019 point to a landslide victory for the country's incumbent, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.

The results of the vote did not surprise either the experts, or the outside observers, or the participants in the presidential race themselves. What happened was exactly what political scientists expected, and what most polls predicted.

To be convinced of this, it is enough to look at the results of the VTsIOM pre-election research, where Putin was called the clear favorite. Similar information is provided by the monitoring of trust ratings, which have been at record high levels for several years now.

Despite the fact that the exact results will be made public a little later, you can see the approximate data on the votes received right now. According to the information currently available, the vote count showed the following results of the 2019 presidential elections in the Russian Federation:

• Putin received the approval of more than 76.67% of those who voted;
• Grudinin came in second with just over 11.79%;
• slightly behind the representative of the communists Zhirinovsky, who gained almost 5.66%;
• the representative of the opposition - Ksenia Sobchak remained fourth, having received the support of about 1.67% of those who voted;
• Yavlinsky - received 1.03 - 1.04% of the vote;
• the remaining contenders were approved by less than 1% of the citizens participating in the elections.

The final figures may still change slightly. But, given the difference between the indicators of the current head of state and his main competitors, we can already confidently say that he will continue to hold his position for the next 6 years.

Information on turnout

Pleasantly pleased political scientists and experts and the turnout of voters who decided to vote for their candidate. According to available information, about 54.41 million of the country's eligible population (that is, adults and capable citizens) attended the vote.

Despite the fact that such results were predicted by specialists and expected by representatives of the Central Election Commission, the final result can be safely called a victory for democracy and the success of the election campaign.

In addition to the high turnout rate, experts point out another extremely curious nuance. Last weekend, voters especially actively exercised their right to vote outside their place of residence. They declared in advance about such a desire and received documents allowing them to do so. As a result, 3 times more people took advantage of this opportunity than in previous years.

Key trends ahead of the vote

Noteworthy is the fact that the results are close to those observed during the pre-election debates. In recent months, there has been a slight decrease in the popularity of the main candidates for victory and an increase in the chances of their competitors. Thus, the polls showed a slight drop in the rating of Vladimir Putin. In comparison with the indicators of the beginning of the year, they fell by 3-4%. It should be noted that they reached the highest level for the last year in August and January. Then the rate of trust and approval was 77%.

But, given the huge gap between the current head and his rivals, such changes are of no fundamental importance and do not affect the final result and the general degree of public confidence in the head of state.

Voting results of the presidential elections in Russia 2019

Summing up, the first step is to once again positively highlight the turnout rate. It turned out to be at the highest level for recent years and clearly reflected the interest of the population in the political life of the country. Almost 2/3 of the citizens who have the right to vote took the opportunity to show their will.

Assessing the preliminary results of the 2019 presidential elections in Russia, it is necessary to emphasize the confident victory of the current leader of the country, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. The number of votes he received clearly indicates the faith of the population in the head of state and support for the course he has chosen. In addition, such results give him the opportunity to continue his undertakings and support the previously chosen course of Russia's development.

10.09.2018

On September 10, 2018, the Information Center of the CEC of Russia announced the preliminary results of the elections on the single voting day on September 9 in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

“One of the largest election campaigns is coming to an end on a single voting day, which took place in 80 regions of our country,” said Ella Pamfilova, Chairman of the Russian Central Election Commission. - Despite all the skepticism, we really saw a competitive and sometimes unpredictable struggle. Some of the results came as a big surprise even to the experts. For example, in Yakutsk, the candidate from the opposition "Party for the Revival of Russia" - Sardana Avksentieva - became the winner in the mayoral elections. It is already known that in some subjects there will be a second round of voting in the elections of senior officials.

The average turnout in the seven single-member constituencies was about 30 percent, which is in line with the turnout in the 2017 State Duma by-elections. “At the same time, more than 15,000 voters voted at polling stations formed abroad, which is an indicator of a fairly high interest of citizens in the elections,” said Ella Pamfilova.

“At the moment, we can talk about four subjects where the second round of voting will take place,” said the Chairman of the CEC of Russia. - Regional laws of the Republic of Khakassia, the Khabarovsk Territory and the Vladimir Region suggest that the second round will take place in two weeks. Primorsky Territory legislation establishes that the second round may be held no later than 21 days after voting day. However, we hope that Primorye will organize its work in such a way that all four regions will hold the second round on the same day - September 23rd. Why? Let me remind you that the repeated elections will be held using the Mobile Voter mechanism. It is very important that all our technical services have time to prepare, so that all voters in these four regions have the opportunity to use this mechanism. Two weeks is the best option.

Ella Pamfilova said that according to the general results of voting in elections to the legislative bodies of state power of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, 14 parties received seats in legislative assemblies, as well as candidates nominated by self-nomination.

“The elections showed that we are moving to a new level both in the correctness of procedures and in the degree of independence of the commissions, the ability to resist various kinds of administrative pressure, to quickly work with new technological solutions, has appeared,” said Ella Pamfilova. - And the main difference between the current elections, which has never happened, is that during the whole day online it was possible to observe the turnout and the process of entering protocols. This is the maximum level of transparency. Almost all regions tried very quickly to introduce protocols into the GAS "Vybory". It is important that there was no gap between the technical innovations that we were preparing, the legal culture and the professional training of our commissions, so that all this worked together. The amount of our efforts began to turn into visible qualitative changes. And this is the work of a huge number of people.

MOSCOW, March 18 - RIA Novosti. Preliminary data from the Russian Central Election Commission and data from exit polls by VTsIOM and FOM indicate that Vladimir Putin won the presidential elections in the Russian Federation: he is gaining from 71.9% to 76.3% of the vote. The second place among the candidates is occupied by the candidate from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Pavel Grudinin, gaining, according to various sources, from 11.2 to 15.9%.

First data: Putin is in the lead

According to the data of the Russian Central Election Commission, the incumbent president is leading the race, gaining 71.97% of the votes following the processing of 21.33% of the protocols of precinct election commissions.

Exit poll data also speaks of Putin's victory: according to the FOM exit poll, Putin is gaining 76.3% in the presidential elections, according to the VTsIOM exit poll - 73.9%.

In the previous elections in 2012, Putin won 63.6%.

Grudinin II

Communist Party candidate Pavel Grudinin is gaining 15.9% in the presidential election, according to the first preliminary data from the CEC on the results of processing 21.33% of the votes.

According to the FOM exit poll, the CPRF candidate also ranks second with 11.9%. The data of the VTsIOM exit poll show that he is gaining 11.2% of the votes.

Thus, according to preliminary data, in the current elections, the candidate from the Communist Party is gaining less than the candidate from the party, its leader Gennady Zyuganov, in the 2012 elections with 17.7% of the vote.

Other candidates

According to preliminary data from the CEC, the LDPR candidate, party leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky is gaining 6.95%. Ksenia Sobchak has 1.39%.

Grigory Yavlinsky ("Yabloko"), according to the CEC, won 0.77% of the vote, Maxim Suraikin ("Communists of Russia") - 0.61%, Boris Titov (Growth Party) - 0.6%, Sergey Baburin (Russian National Union) - 0.62%.

According to the FOM exit poll, in third place is LDPR leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky, who is gaining 6% of the vote. Ksenia Sobchak ("Civil Initiative") - 2% of the vote, Grigory Yavlinsky, running from Yabloko, is gaining 1% of the vote. Maxim Suraikin ("Communists of Russia") and Boris Titov (Party of Growth) gain 0.7% each, Sergey Baburin - 0.6%.

The poll was conducted in 83 subjects of the Russian Federation, 737 settlements, at 1127 polling stations among 112.7 thousand respondents. The statistical error does not exceed 1%.

According to the VTsIOM exit poll, Vladimir Zhirinovsky is gaining 6.7%, Ksenia Sobchak - 2.5%, Grigory Yavlinsky - 1.6%, Boris Titov - 1.1%, Sergey Baburin - 1%, Maxim Suraikin - 0.8 %.

According to the head of the Russian Central Election Commission, Ella Pamfilova, this election campaign has become the cleanest and highest quality in recent years. There were few violations, the turnout was good, but the voting results came as a surprise to many experts.

Voter won

“Despite all the skepticism, we really saw a competitive and sometimes unpredictable struggle,” Ella Pamfilova said at a briefing on the morning of September 10th. "Some of the results came as a surprise even to the experts." For example, in the elections for the mayor of Yakutsk, the candidate from the opposition "Party of the Revival of Russia" Sardana Avksentieva won.

According to Pamfilova, the voting results were determined by real voters, and the election commissions worked clearly and in strict accordance with federal electoral legislation and did not allow anyone to influence the elections. She noted that the turnout was on average the same as in the last elections, and somewhere even higher. Traditionally, the Kemerovo region leads in terms of turnout - 66.41 percent of those eligible to vote came to the polling stations. More than 15 thousand voters voted abroad.

The parties chose a civilized way of fighting for power, although, of course, they used the agenda for their own purposes, including the pension issue. "Competition and lively politics are only for the benefit of the country's recovery and development," Pamfilova said. Representatives of 12 parties, including self-nominated candidates, received mandates in 16 legislative assemblies where deputies were elected. In Khakassia, the Irkutsk and Ulyanovsk regions, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is in the lead. In most regions, United Russia wins, having received 472 seats in total on party lists and single-mandate constituencies. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation follows with a small margin, followed by the Liberal Democratic Party and A Just Russia. But at the same time, the lists of United Russia gained less than 50 percent of the vote in elections to legislative assemblies in 11 out of 16 regions.

Competition and lively politics only benefit the country's recovery and development

As for non-parliamentary parties, Rodina and Patriots of Russia show good results in a number of regions. In 4 regions, representatives of the CPSU got into local legislative assemblies, in 4 more - from the "Pensioners' Party", in two legislative assemblies the "Greens" will be represented, and in one region candidates from "Yabloko" entered the parliament.

Ready for the second round

Elections of governors were held in 22 regions, most of which were won by representatives of United Russia. Andrey Klychkov (KPRF) showed a high result in the Oryol region - 83.55 percent of citizens voted for him, and in the Omsk region self-nominated Alexander Burkov wins with 82.56 percent. 62.52 percent of residents of the Moscow region cast their votes for the incumbent governor Andrei Vorobyov, and in Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin is leading with 70.14 percent of the vote.

In the Khabarovsk and Primorsky Territories, the Republic of Khakassia and the Vladimir Region, a second round of elections will be held, as the candidates did not receive the required number of votes. In the Khabarovsk Territory, United Russia Vyacheslav Shport, who won 35.62 percent in the first round, and Sergei Furgal (LDPR), who received 35.81 percent of the population, will compete for the post of head of the region. In the Republic of Khakassia, Valentin Konovalov (KPRF) advanced to the second round with 44.81 percent of the vote and Viktor Zimin (United Russia) with 32.42 percent. The second round will also be held in Primorsky Krai - United Russia Andrei Tarasenko (45.56 percent) and communist Andrei Ishchenko (24.63 percent of the vote) are leading there. In the Vladimir region, Svetlana Orlova from United Russia gained 36.42 percent, and 31.19 percent of voters voted for Vladimir Sipyagin from the Liberal Democratic Party.

Ella Pamfilova said that the second round of elections will be held on September 23. “Given the application of the Mobile Voter system, it is important that all our services can prepare so that voters have the opportunity to use the system,” she said. The chairman of the election commission of the Vladimir region, Vadim Minaev, having entered into direct communication with the Central Election Commission, said that in the coming hours the regional election commission would hold a meeting on the second round of elections. There are no problems in the financial plan, the necessary funds were provided for when the regional budget was adopted.

Four days left to file complaints

The final results of the elections in all regions except four will be summed up on Friday, September 14, at a briefing at the Central Election Commission at 11:00. Before that, the CEC is going to consider all complaints received. Ella Pamfilova urged everyone who discovered any violations to contact the commission. At the moment, there are 20 percent fewer complaints than in previous elections. And dissatisfaction with the work of election commissions was expressed by three times fewer citizens than before.

Voting results were canceled only at seven polling stations - in the Ulyanovsk, Moscow, Vladimir regions, as well as in Kalmykia and Buryatia. In Kalmykia, information has appeared about the alleged stuffing, and now the investigating authorities are investigating. In Buryatia, an attempt was also made to stuff ballots. In Barnaul, the voter mixed up the ballot boxes. In the Vladimir region, they found several extra ballots for the election of the governor. Ella Pamfilova drew attention to the fact that not only the number of violations has decreased, but also their scale, and this is a significant step forward in ensuring the purity of the campaign. The quality of the elections was also influenced by the fact that the turnout and the voting process were displayed online.
