Government and coalitions

Before the vote

United Russia holds more than two-thirds of the seats in the outgoing State Duma. The government of Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, in office since January 2020, answers to President Vladimir Putin, who was re-elected in 2024. Four other parties sit in the chamber: the Communists, the LDPR, A Just Russia and New People.

After the vote

The Central Election Commission certified the result on 25 September 2026. United Russia holds 349 of the 450 seats — 140 from the list and 209 of the 225 districts — above the 300 needed to amend the constitution. The Communists have 37, the LDPR 23, New People 19 and A Just Russia 17; Rodina won one district and self-nominated candidates four. The government is appointed by the president rather than formed by a coalition. On 30 September the Duma re-elected Vyacheslav Volodin as its chairman.

Voting was spread over several days and included remote electronic voting in about 33 regions.
