Notes

@United Russia nominated only one candidate, Putin, to the all-federalist section of its list, which normally consists of a party's top 3 candidates.

* In 2003 ran as Motherland.  During 2006 Motherland merged with Party of Pensioners (which with Party of Social Fairness in 2003 won 3.1%) and Party of Life (which with Rebirth of Russia in 2003 won 1.9%).  The combined party is called "Fair Russia: Motherland, Pensioners, Life" or "Fair Russia" for short.
