“The presidential elections demonstrated the highest level of public interest in the political processes in the country.
Already at 13:50 on Sunday, the turnout exceeded the totals for 2018 - then 67.54% of voters voted in the Russian presidential elections.
The result of all three days of voting also speaks for itself: the head of state was literally chosen by all of Russia,” he emphasized.
Koshel noted that never in the history of Russia has turnout in presidential elections exceeded 70%.
“Such a phenomenal result is unattainable for many “civilized” countries that are still trying to teach us democracy.
First of all, this speaks of the political consciousness of Russians, their involvement in the public life of the country,” concluded the HSE Vice-Rector.
Earlier, the Chairman of the Central Election Commission of Russia, Ella Pamfilova, said that the turnout for the Russian presidential elections was 77.44%.
