Moscow E-Voting Hit by Sustained Cyberattack During Parliamentary Vote

Moscow’s electronic voting system faced a large, intense cyberattack overnight into September 19, 2026, Russian officials said, on day two of Russia’s September 18-20 parliamentary election. Election chief Ella Pamfilova said voting continued normally, with no details on method or culprit. It is Russia’s first parliamentary vote since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
