摘要

Electoral data at fine-grained administrative levels are essential for analyzing political competition, voter behavior, and electoral institutions. Yet detailed electoral records have been notably restricted, fragmented and inconsistent in many contexts, including contemporary Russia. We introduce a comprehensive, standardized and longitudinally comparable dataset of Russian federal election results at the precinct level, spanning the period 2000–2024. Integrating digital and archival resources, the data include official records on electorate size, turnout, and voting results for all major parties and presidential candidates. The dataset is harmonized across six presidential and five parliamentary election cycles to accommodate frequent precinct renumbering, administrative boundary changes and inconsistencies in reporting. The paper describes the dataset, data sources, and harmonization process, contextualizing them within Russia’s institutional framework and research on authoritarian elections. By offering consistent and harmonized electoral returns, the dataset enables robust empirical analyses of political competition, electoral manipulation, and voter behavior in the period of Russia’s transition to a consolidated autocracy.
