State Duma Elections

State Duma elections in Russia are parliamentary elections held every five years to select members of the Duma, the lower house of the Federal Assembly. Citizens cast votes for political parties and individual candidates to represent them in legislative decisions. The election process involves proportional representation from party lists and, since 2016, a small number of seats allocated through a mixed system. These elections influence government policy, law-making, and the country's political landscape, serving as a key mechanism for public participation in Russia’s governance framework.
