Earlier, the Central Election Commission stated that presidential elections are being held at the highest level of openness.

During surveys conducted before voting day, about 74% of participants promised that they would definitely come to the polls, 9% were undecided on the answer. The overall turnout results confirmed the forecasts of sociologists - 64%-67% of the population in all regions of the country turned out for the elections.

For the elections, the Central Election Commission approved a budget of 17.6 billion rubles, most of which was aimed at organizing the work of precinct commissions and informing citizens about voting.

Preliminary results of the presidential election

On the eve of the elections, experts from the Social Research Institute conducted surveys, during which the following preferences of voters were revealed:

• for Putin – 69%;
• for Grudinin – 7%;
• for Baburin – 1%;
• for Zhirinovsky – 5%;
• Sobchak – 2%;
• Suraikin – less than 1%;
• Titov – less than 1%;
• Yavlinsky – 1%.

The survey was conducted in early March of this year. The study involved 4 thousand adult Russians. Possible statistical error is no more than 1.6%.

Election violations

Most of the incoming reports of violations during voting in the Russian presidential elections are fake; at the moment, only one report has been confirmed, Alena Bulgakova, head of the executive committee of the Observer Corps “For Clean Elections”, told RIA Novosti

According to her, so far only the report of ballot stuffing has been confirmed in the city of Artyom in the Primorsky Territory, where a group has already left together with the secretary of the regional Election Commission.

Ballot stuffing was detected at one of the polling stations in Lyubertsy, the ballot box was sealed, said Irina Konovalova, chairperson of the Moscow Regional Election Commission.

“Our federal coordinator is also on site, keeping us informed of events,” she said.

During the online marathon “Election Night,” the federal coordinator of “National Public Monitoring” Roman Kolomoytsev said that representatives from his organization also went to the polling station in Artyom.

Let us note that a video previously appeared showing ballot stuffing in Lyubertsy.

Let us remind you that eight people are vying for the post of President of Russia, who is elected on March 18: Vladimir Putin (self-nominated), Sergei Baburin (Russian People's Union party), Pavel Grudinin (Communist Party of the Russian Federation), Vladimir Zhirinovsky (LDPR), Ksenia Sobchak (Civil initiative"), Maxim Suraikin ("Communists of Russia"), Boris Titov (Growth Party), Grigory Yavlinsky ("Yabloko").

You know what. Of course, we and our Western colleagues - politicians and journalists - have said a lot about each other in recent years. And of course, to be honest, sometimes you even regret that the publication in Bild is simply incredible nonsense. But, for example, is it possible, being a healthy person, to assume that today’s data from VTsIOM about candidates for the position of president of our country - these data were provoked by the work of German bots?

And yet here they are. This data. The only self-nominated candidate is in the lead. Nevertheless. Among the remaining seven party candidates, intrigue remains. Even two intrigues. The second is which of the five candidates - Suraikin, Titov, Baburin, Sobchak, Yavlinsky - who will ultimately gain one percent of the votes, and who will overcome this important percentage barrier? And the main thing is who will receive an honorable second place: pursuit race veteran Vladimir Zhirinovsky or Zyuganov’s newcomer fellow traveler, billionaire Pavel Grudinin. So to speak, a clash of youth and experience.

LDPR candidate Vladimir Zhirinovsky today checked the work of the Pension Fund branch. Pensioner Zhirinovsky was interested in the mechanism for calculating pensions. He asked about the payments he was entitled to and specifically focused on the issue of indexation. As a presidential candidate, Zhirinovsky promised: if he is elected, working pensioners will receive all bonuses in full. The LDPR leader also spoke on the topic of raising the retirement age.

“We will be categorically against raising the retirement age, because we have difficult living conditions, weather, political conditions, housing. It so happens that people are accustomed to it: women retire at 55, men at 60, and there are even pensions at a younger age. And there should be bonuses every year: for both those working and those not working,” said Vladimir Zhirinovsky.

Sergei Baburin met with voters in Rostov-on-Don. The presidential candidate from the Russian All-People's Union visited the Museum of the Don Cossacks, opened in one of the city schools, and not only teachers gave him a tour. Later, Baburin met with the Cossack activists and also visited Rostselmash. According to the presidential candidate, the development of production should become a priority in the coming years.

“I believe that with all the successes of foreign policy, we must not forget about domestic policy. Not all of us have enterprises like Rostselmash. Well, not all. We still have many barely surviving. Excuse me, how much consumer goods do we have that are of poor quality and come from abroad? Therefore, we are talking about the need to reform a fundamentally internal socio-economic policy,” emphasized Sergei Baburin.

Pavel Grudinin also visited the production site today. The presidential candidate from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation inspected the workshops of a Moscow region enterprise that produces dozens of types of plumbing fixtures. The company has existed for almost 20 years, the customer base, and with it the profit, is growing. Everything is the same as at the Lenin state farm, noted businessman Grudinin. But even here, at a successful enterprise, we started talking about how the state can help a developing business.

“We need to reduce interest on loans so that the enterprise can develop. We need to make sure that workers earn more money, and for this we need to introduce a progressive scale of income tax. And if a person earns little, then he should not pay anything at all, and if he earns a lot, then he must pay increased tax. But the main thing is that we need to do so that people can buy our products that are available to them,” said Pavel Grudinin.

Candidate from the Communists of Russia party Maxim Suraikin, together with his comrades-in-arms, laid flowers at the Lenin monument in Veliky Novgorod. He also visited one of the city's multifunctional centers. In general, communist Suraikin was pleased with the work of the MFC, although there were some comments.

“Active voters submit applications in order to be able to vote at the polling stations where they will be, but nevertheless, speaking in general, for example, we discovered that a service fee is paid here - 40 rubles for each state fee, in our opinion this a fairly large amount, because if a person pays three, four or five state fees, that’s already 150-200-300 rubles. And when a simple pensioner receives 9-10 thousand, this is a significant part of his income, it may be just a few days of money for groceries,” noted Maxim Suraikin.

Grigory Yavlinsky, a candidate from the Yabloko party, met with military experts today. They talked about the state of the Armed Forces, the re-equipment of combat units and, in general, serious reforms of the Russian army.

“It is necessary to return again to the topic of reducing the size of the Russian Armed Forces to 800 thousand people. Second. Transition to a professional army and, over the next two to three years, abandonment of conscription and transition to a contract army. My calculations show the need and possibility of increasing wages, medical care, and improving the quality of medical care,” said Grigory Yavlinsky.

Hero of Russia Vyacheslav Bocharov met with volunteers at Vladimir Putin’s Moscow headquarters. On the eve of February 23, young people wrote greeting cards to our military in Syria. A veteran of the Vympel special forces group joined the action. Volunteers asked Bocharov what constitutes true patriotism.

“Patriotism is love for the Motherland. But you can’t call someone to love the Motherland in the abstract, you can’t force them to love something. When you tell a young person about the heroes of our time, you talk about specific examples - in their faces, and they can either see this person or bow to his memory, because in our time he sacrificed himself so that they could fulfill their dreams,” - said Hero of Russia Vyacheslav Bocharov.

This week, survey results emerged on Russians' intentions to participate in the upcoming vote.

According to VTsIOM, more than 80% of respondents plan to definitely or most likely go to polling stations. The picture is similar in a survey by the Public Opinion Foundation: more than 60% of respondents said that they would definitely come to the polls. And almost 22% of respondents are likely to vote.

As for the pre-election situation, the figures here are generally similar. Vladimir Putin is leading by a wide margin.

Sociologists pay attention to the maximum closeness of the positions of Pavel Grudinin and Vladimir Zhirinovsky. According to VTsIOM, a month before the elections there is a little more than 2% between them.

Almost 1.5% - for Grigory Yavlinsky. Ksenia Sobchak gains a little less than 1%. Sergei Baburin has 0.4%. Boris Titov is behind him by 0.1%. Maxim Suraykin closes the ranking.

At the same time, FOM polls show almost equal values ​​for candidates from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and the Liberal Democratic Party, so it seems that the fight for second place will continue until the last day of campaigning.

You will be able to cast your vote not only where you are registered, but also at your actual place of residence. The day before, a collection point for applications for inclusion in the electoral lists opened in Rosa Khutor. So that vacationers can vote without making adjustments to their vacation plans. After all, the ski season here ends only in May, which means that on March 18 there will be many potential voters on the snowy slopes.

On March 18, presidential elections are due to take place in Russia, which Vladimir Putin should obviously win for the fourth time.

Elections are scheduled for March 18, the anniversary of Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea. In order for the elections to take place on this day, they even adopted a special law (before its adoption, the elections were supposed to take place on March 11). The law does not explicitly state the purpose of moving the election date, but it is likely to increase turnout (at least 50% turnout is required for the election to be valid) and the number of votes for Vladimir Putin, with whom Russians associate annexation.

Accordingly, the day of silence before elections, when election campaigning is prohibited, is March 17.

The results of the Russian elections must be announced no later than March 29, 2018, and officially published before April 3, 2018. The winner of the election will be the candidate who receives an absolute majority of votes (more than 50%).

If no candidate receives the required number of votes (which is unlikely), a second round will take place on April 8, 2018.

Elections, who is in the lead: VTsIOM called the awareness of Russians about the elections maximum

“Citizens’ awareness of the elections remains at the maximum level: 92% of respondents know that voting should take place in March 2018, the awareness index is 93 points out of 100 possible,” the report notes.

Vladimir Putin remains the leader of the presidential race; 69% of respondents intend to support him. Second is Pavel Grudinin (7%), third is Vladimir Zhirinovsky (5%). The remaining candidates scored less than 5%: Ksenia Sobchak - 2%, Grigory Yavlinsky and Sergei Baburin - 1%, Maxim Suraikin and Boris Titov - 0%.

36% of respondents believe that the elections will be held fairly, another 42% admit minor violations that will not affect the outcome of the elections.

Leading sociological services in Russia presented measurements of electoral sentiment at the beginning of March, as well as a forecast for the election results. Among the candidates, the current Russian President Vladimir Putin is still leading by a large margin from the rest. Voter turnout on March 18 is projected to be in the range of 63-67%.

The declared level of turnout remains consistently high throughout the entire election campaign. When asked whether they would take part in the vote on March 18, 74% of Russians said that they would definitely take part, another 9% said that they would “most likely” take part. 9% promise to make a decision closer to election day. About 6% of respondents do not plan to come to polling stations. This is data from a survey by the All-Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion (VTsIOM).

According to a survey by the Public Opinion Foundation (FOM), 84.7% of citizens said they intended to vote with varying degrees of confidence, of which 64.8% intended to vote “definitely,” and 19.9% ​​said “probably.” " The number of refuseniks at FOM is higher than at VTsIOM: 11% do not intend to come to the polling stations. In terms of age, the maximum number of those who answered “I will not take part in the elections” (19.8%) was among citizens 18-30 years old. For comparison: among citizens over 60 years of age, only 3.8% do not intend to vote.

The leader of the election race is the current President Vladimir Putin. According to the Central Election Commission at the moment, 71.9% of voters voted for him.

ON THIS TOPIC

In second place was the candidate from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Pavel Grudinin with 15.9% of the votes. The top three is closed by LDPR leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky – 6.9%.

In Russia, on March 18, the seventh presidential election took place. The head of state is elected for six years. As of January 1, 2018, the Central Election Commission registered 110 million 858 thousand 228 voters - this is one million more than in the 2012 elections. Polling stations in all regions were open from 8:00 to 20:00 local time.

Eight candidates are vying for the presidency. These are Sergei Baburin (Russian People's Union party), Pavel Grudinin (Communist Party of the Russian Federation), Vladimir Zhirinovsky (LDPR), Ksenia Sobchak (Civil Initiative), Maxim Suraikin (Communists of Russia), Boris Titov (Growth Party) and Grigory Yavlinsky ("Apple"). The current head of state, Vladimir Putin, is participating in the elections as a self-nominated candidate.

The Far East voted actively, with huge queues forming at the ballot boxes at many polling stations. The last to vote were residents of the Kaliningrad region, the westernmost region of the country. It is also worth noting that for the first time residents of Crimea and Sevastopol took part in voting in the presidential elections.

The head of the Russian state was also elected abroad. Thus, Russian Ambassador Anatoly Antonov was personally present at the opening in Washington. The commission received 13,510 ballots. In total, more than 360 voting stations were organized abroad; up to 1.8 million Russians could use this right.

In general, citizen activity in these elections was higher than six years ago. Thus, as of 18:00 Moscow time, the turnout already exceeded 50% and amounted to 52.97%. An hour later, the Central Election Commission published new data - turnout reached almost 60%.

According to international observers, the voting took place calmly, and access to polling stations was open to all citizens eligible to vote. Thus, member of the Slovak Parliament Marek Krajci, who observed the presidential elections in the Saratov region, said that the election procedure has become much more transparent. "I see that there is a very good and friendly atmosphere here. In my opinion, the election process is organized very openly, and the elections are accessible to voters," he said.
