Oggi si vota in Russia per rinnovare i 450 parlamentari della Duma.
«Legislative elections will be held in Russia on 18 September 2016, having been brought forward from 4 December. At stake are the 450 seats in the State Duma of the 7th convocation, the lower house of the Federal Assembly of Russia. United Russia is currently the ruling party after having won the 2011 elections with 49.32% of the vote, taking 238 seats (53%) of the seats in the State Duma.
….
The State Duma will be elected on a single day for a term of five years, with parallel voting that was used between 1993 and 2003. Half of the 450 seats will be elected by proportional representation from closed party lists with a 5% electoral threshold with the whole country as a single constituency. Seats are allocated using Hare quota and largest remainder method. The other 225 seats are elected in single-member constituencies using the first-past-the-post system.» [Fonte]

«Significant personal changes to the top economic team are also unlikely. While this will produce policy continuity, no material improvement in the outlook for structural reforms is expected after the vote».

«queste elezioni in uno Stato fortemente centralizzato, di cui già sembra di conoscere il risultato, solo in apparenza sono completamente scontate: sotto la superficie si nascondono diversi elementi di incertezza, per questo il Cremlino le prende sul serio. Preoccupato che con il passare del tempo l’effetto della sua carta migliore – la Crimea – inizi a svanire»
