Massive election fraud in Russian Duma election 2021?

October 13th, 2021

In a new policy brief, the CSH Vienna presents statistical analyses of data from the 2021 Duma elections, held 17–19 September. The CSH finds systematic and highly significant statistical evidence for the presence of ballot-stuffing, i.e., multiple ballots per person during the voting process, as well as voter rigging: the intimidation and coercion of voters.

According to the CSH, the party United Russia would have yielded an overall outcome of around 30% instead of the officially postulated 50% without electoral malpractice. Smaller voting stations contributed much stronger to statistical irregularities than larger stations, which is a strong sing for intimidation and/or ballot-stuffing.

"In about half of all voting districts different degrees of ballot-stuffing have to be assumed to explain the observed statistics. In 49% of stations, we find signs for ballot-stuffing," says the CSH Policy Brief.
