United Russia is Putin's party.

[KavkazUzel] The New People party won the elections to the State Duma in the village of Koren-Benoy, Nozhai-Yurt district of Chechnya. Only 0.92 percent of the village voters voted for United Russia, it follows from the data of the election commission.

As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, on September 17-19, Chechnya held voting in the elections to the State Duma, as well as direct elections for the head of the republic, elections to the parliament and the city duma of Grozny. Ramzan Kadyrov, according to the Central Election Commission, won 99.7% of the votes in the elections for the head of Chechnya, breaking his own record in 2016, when he won 97% of the votes.

"United Russia" in the Duma elections in the republic received 96.13% of the vote, "Fair Russia - For the Truth" - 0.93 percent, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation - 0.75 percent, the rest of the parties gained less than 0.5 percent, the election commission of Chechnya said.

According to the website of the Chechen electoral commission, United Russia did not gain 0.92 percent (two votes) in the elections to the State Duma at PEC # 457, which is located in the village of Koren-Benoy, Nozhai-Yurt district. Most of all, 95.41 percent (208 votes) received the New People party. The number of voters in this village is, according to the election commission, 231 people.

Having studied the data on the website of the election commission on the results of the State Duma elections in Chechnya, the "Caucasian Knot" drew attention to the fact that at one of the polling stations United Russia won less than 50 percent of the votes. Thus, at PEC No. 510 in the Urus-Martan district, 48.81 percent of voters (531 people) voted for the ruling party, while 22.43 percent (244) of the votes were cast for the Communist Party of the Russian Federation.

Earlier it was reported that at seven polling stations in Dagestan, residents voted in the elections to the State Duma for the rivals of the ruling party, and United Russia did not receive a single vote .

Similar abnormal results can be found in the summary tables of other regions, including the Republic of Tyva and the Nizhny Novgorod region. In Tyva, at PEC No. 70, New People also won, gaining 97.09% of the vote, United Russia got only 0.30 percent, and in the Nizhny Novgorod Region, at PEC No. 1336, 100 percent of the votes went to the Party of Pensioners, the article says. on the website of The Insider.

Such anomalies can be explained in different ways, commented on the publication of the co-chairman of the Golos movement, a member of the scientific expert council at the Central Executive Committee of the Russian Federation, Andrei Buzin.

"First, it can be errors. I admit that they could have confused the lines. This happens in election commissions - the sequence of parties was written in the wrong way and therefore the result was entered in the wrong place. The second explanation can be as follows.

In Dagestan and other Caucasian republics, we are not talking about parties, but about clans. At these polling stations, people vote consolidated, so it is quite possible that they were simply aimed at voting in this way. The aksakals said so. These explanations are based not on research, but on experience," Buzin explained.

Teachers and doctors in Chechnya repeatedly voted against their will  at different polling stations, residents of the republic told the "Caucasian Knot" earlier, pointing out the passive attitude of many of their acquaintances to the elections. Before the elections, rallies were held in different regions of Chechnya with the participation of state employees and civil servants, who urged residents of the republic to vote.

For almost twenty years, Chechnya has established mechanisms for monitoring the election results, the author of the blog on the Caucasian Knot Chechnya Inside said . "To control the elections, the local authorities created more than 200 operational headquarters under the patronage of officials, as well as a command to 'counter information ballot stuffing about election violations.'
