Elected jellyfish

There is no intrigue. There are no surprises. The turnout is high

Good evening. Today is not the most ordinary “evening jellyfish”, well, the day is not quite ordinary. First briefly results. Here is a picture based on the results of processing only 25% of the ballots, but it is unlikely that the situation will radically change by morning:

How this day went

- Calmly . It is still difficult to give any assessments besides subjective, but it seems that there were fewer violations than usual-either less were reported about them than usual. The main entertainment of the day is direct broadcasts from polling stations; In some places, the violators did not pay attention to the cameras at all and threw the ballots in front of the amazed spectators.

- Sounded the victorious relations of the turnout. Already in the morning, the Central Election Commission reported that the turnout is higher than six years ago. There are no final data yet, but, apparently, the final indicators will be several percentage points more than in 2012. However, at the headquarters of an unregistered presidential candidate Alexei Navalny, they believe that calls not to go to the elections worked.

- There were unexpected (and most interesting) political debates. They occurred on the air of the Utuub channel "Navalny Live", where Ksenia Sobchak suddenly came on a visit. If very briefly, Navalny and Sobchak were publicly quarreled. If a little more, then a moderately short retelling .

Reactions of candidates

On the air of the Rossiya TV channel, almost all presidential candidates reported that they were satisfied with the election results and the entire campaign-Boris Titov (closing the list), and Sergey Baburin, and Ksenia Sobchak, and Pavel Grudinin with Gennady Zyuganov (for some reason they performed a couple). Vladimir Putin has not yet performed; Perhaps he will appear on Manezhnaya Square, where at these minutes there is a rally-concert organized by the authorities in honor of the anniversary of the annexation of Crimea.

What's next

In the morning, the CEC will announce the final results. And, probably, he will say that there were no significant violations.

The next Duma elections-in 2021, presidential-in 2024. In Moscow, there should be (relatively) an interesting campaign for the mayor’s elections in 2018, in St. Petersburg-similar in 2019.
