MOSCOW, July 2. /TASS/. One in two Russians surveyed is aware of September's elections to the State Duma, said Mikhail Mamonov, Director of Political Research at All-Russian Center for Public Opinion Research (VTsIOM).
"The first key factor that we always analyze is awareness of the elections. According to the latest data, 53% were able to correctly name the date, month, and year of the elections," Mamonov said at a round table of the Expert Institute for Social Research (EISR) "Single Voting Day -2026: How do Parties Plan to Win?"
The survey was conducted at the end of June among 1,600 adult Russians.
Mamonov said the second important factor is whether or not the person is going to vote in the elections.
"That number has been holding at the level of 64-66% for the last four months, that's how many Russians say they plan to take part in the elections. At the same time, 47% of Russians in our polls declare that they have a high degree of confidence that they will vote in the elections," Mamonov said, adding that Russians young and old said they plan to vote at about the same clip.
