Russian legislative elections began on Friday, spanning a three-day period until Sunday night, with electoral authorities reporting a 10% voter turnout by the initial stages. During the first day of voting, authorities in the Black Sea resort city of Sochi temporarily closed polling stations following a declared alert regarding Ukrainian drone attacks in the region.
Amidst the ongoing voting process, President Vladimir Putin cast his ballot using the online voting system, repeating a method he previously utilized during the 2021 parliamentary elections and earlier presidential votes. The simultaneous use of digital voting and traditional polling occurs as regional security measures are tested by external aerial threats.
