On September 18, 2026, on the first day of the election of deputies to the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation of the IX convocation, as well as regional and municipal elections, His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia took part in voting at the Patriarch's working residence in Chisty Lane.
The legislation of the Russian Federation provides for the possibility of voting on the basis of a submitted application outside the polling station due to work necessity.
Representatives of the election commission handed the Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church two ballots: one for voting on the federal list of parties, the second for voting for a candidate to the State Duma in a single—mandate constituency.
His Holiness filled out the ballots and dropped them into a portable ballot box.
The elections of deputies in 2026 will take place over three days — from September 18 to September 20.
