Political scientist Martynov commented on the first data on the results of elections to the State Duma

“The elections were excellent, competitive and open.

Voters had an opportunity to assess the competences of all participants, we saw this at the debates, ”he said.

According to the political scientist, the first data is data from the Far East.

“The Far East always votes in a peculiar way.

Each region has its own electoral traditions and preferences ... It was believed that this is the canonical territory of the Liberal Democratic Party, they always occupied the first or second positions, now they have fallen back to third with a serious lead over the Communist Party, "Martynov explained.

Earlier, the CEC counted more than 20% of the protocols for the elections to the State Duma.
