✒️ Comment by Ambassador Albert P. Khorev to TASS News Agency Following the Voting held at the Embassy (September 20, 2026):

💬 Voting at the polling station at the Embassy of Russia in Pakistan has successfully concluded.

A total of 130 people cast their ballots, including the leadership and staff of the Embassy and Trade Mission, their family members, as well as Russian citizens residing in or temporarily staying in Pakistan.

Observers from the Civic Chamber of Russia present at the polling station noted that voting was conducted in full compliance with the established procedures, with no violations identified.

❗️It should be noted that the voting took place amid a challenging social situation, with heightened protest activity and partial traffic restrictions in Islamabad.

Nevertheless, the Embassy, in close coordination with the Pakistani authorities, took additional measures to inform Russian citizens and arranged convenient transportation to the polling station. All necessary conditions were created to enable Russian citizens residing in Islamabad and the surrounding areas to cast their ballots.

🤝 I would like to personally thank all Russian citizens who exercised their right to vote in the elections of deputies to the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation of the ninth convocation, demonstrating a strong sense of civic responsibility.
