More than nine million people in Russia did not have a right to be elected, according to estimates from 2021. The largest group of disenfranchised persons was comprised of those with a second citizenship or a foreign residence permit, amounting to roughly six million. Furthermore, nearly 1.7 million were convicted for committing serious crimes over the past decade, which prevented them from getting elected in the country.
