As "Kavkazsky Uzel" wrote, in the municipal elections in the South of Russia the main intrigue is how many seats the parties competing with United Russia will receive in the city Dumas. The military operation in Ukraine, despite regular drone attacks on the southern regions, was practically not affected by candidates for posts at various levels, analysts noted.
Candidates and parties reported ballot stuffing and falsifications during home voting in the regions of the Southern Federal District.

In the elections to the Duma of the city of Yessentuki, candidates from United Russia received 53.19%; members of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation - 19.96%; LDPR representatives - 13.25%.
