2006 South Ossetian presidential election

Presidential elections were held in South Ossetia on 12 November 2006, coinciding with the South Ossetian independence referendum. Incumbent Eduard Kokoity was seeking a second full five-year term. He was re-elected with more than 98% of the vote. According to the de facto authorities, the election was monitored by a team of 34 international observers from Germany, Austria, Poland, Sweden and other countries at 78 polling stations. The election process was criticised by local civic society and the results were deemed likely to be inflated.
