The article presents the results of statistical analysis of the voting results of the Voronezh region voters in six elections of the President of Russia in the period 2000-2024. The data of electoral statistics from the official website of the CEC of the Russian Federation were aggregated by the type of territory: urban and rural. The analysis demonstrates that the type of territory significantly affects the election results, the level of turnout and the degree of protest voting. The results are presented in the following order: turnout, share of votes for different candidates, turnout and voting correlation, as well as the dynamics of protest voting and support for incumbents and/or systemic opposition. A tendency has been recorded whereby the winners of the elections are gaining electoral points and increasing the gap from their rivals at the expense of voters in rural areas. At the same time, the electoral mood in rural districts, although more conservative than in urban districts, also reflects protest tendencies. The 2024 elections demonstrated the most pronounced disparity in support for the incumbent. Rural territories exhibited the highest levels of loyal voting, while urban residents exhibited a decline in support and an increase in the share of spoiled ballots. These trends in 2024, however, must be contextualized within the broader landscape of significant electoral support for the incumbent. The article identifies the significance of socio-economic factors, specifically inequality, as a key driver of the observed voting patterns between urban and rural areas in Voronezh region.
