Electoral history of Vladimir Putin, second and fourth President of Russia and 33rd Prime Minister of Russia.
The legitimacy of 21st century elections in Russia, with their consistent high turn-out for one candidate, have been questioned by academics and observers, although such accusations of fraud and vote-rigging have been consistently denied by Russian officials.
The Russian Constitution was amended in 2020 to remove a limit that prohibited presidents from serving more than two consecutive terms. This allowed Putin to run for office again in 2024.
