All true - but not very effective ways of changing the outcome of an election prospectively, much less cancelling one.

Putin doesn't cancel elections either.

But he uses every lever he can to control the outcome- and succeeds in doing so.

Almost every autocrat in the world allows elections, but controls the outcome by employing every force in his or her power to keep people he doesn't like away from the polls, or to disallow their votes if they manage to cast a ballot.
