The 7th presidential election in Russia was held on Sunday, 11 March 2018. Most of the major parties selected new candidates to run for the presidency, and three parties that did not participate in the previous election in 2012—the centrist Progress Party, the socialist A Just Russia party, and the liberal democratic Yabloko party—were able to take part. Notably, incumbent President Vladimir Putin chose not to run despite being eligible for another term, and the ruling United Russia party instead put forward Sergei Ivanov, the former chief of the presidential administration.

abstract
| - The 7th presidential election in Russia was held on Sunday, 11 March 2018. Most of the major parties selected new candidates to run for the presidency, and three parties that did not participate in the previous election in 2012—the centrist Progress Party, the socialist A Just Russia party, and the liberal democratic Yabloko party—were able to take part. Notably, incumbent President Vladimir Putin chose not to run despite being eligible for another term, and the ruling United Russia party instead put forward Sergei Ivanov, the former chief of the presidential administration. The President of the Russian Federation is elected by a popular vote. Opposition figure and anti-corruption activist Alexei Navanly, running for the Progress Party, won the election with 50.7% of the vote, although polls put Ivanov with a slight lead over him. The 2018 election was the first time since 1999 that a candidate not affiliated with United Russia was president, the results were greeted with surprise in Russia and throughout the world.
