This text focuses on the Russian Electoral Commission (EC) and its performance during the Russian parliamentary elections in 2011. The three-step analysis consists of (1) the EC’s role and organisational structure; (2) a description of the complaints over the EC’s performance and (3) a detailed focus on the EC’s decisions on these complaints’ relevance. Quantitative content analysis is used to analyse the original data and a new forensic method is developed to look for potential biases in the EC’s decisions on raised complaints. Evidence indicate loss of professionalism, dependence, and biased behaviour. Therefore the EC lacks its credibility.
