On the final day of Russia's three-day parliamentary election, exit polls indicated that the ruling United Russia party is on track to maintain its legislative majority. The election, which took place under strict government control, concluded as the country continues its ongoing military conflict in Ukraine.

Simultaneous to the voting process, Moscow experienced a large-scale drone attack. According to local city officials, the strikes resulted in the deaths of three individuals. While the election results were widely expected due to the current political climate in Russia, the timing of the drone strikes added a layer of volatility to the final day of the vote. The government has maintained a tight grip on the electoral process, and international observers have frequently characterized these elections as lacking genuine competition. The official results are expected to confirm the dominance of the ruling party, consistent with the projections provided by exit polls.
