Abstract
This article assesses the impact of factors associated with improved quality of life or worsening personal well-being on regional voter turnout and voting in federal elections. The primary assessment method is fixed-effects quantile regression. The dataset consists of open data from 82 Russian regions. The results show that material and personal well-being translate into electoral activity, not only in voter turnout but also in votes for the current government. The impact of these factors varies across regional quantiles.
