Russia has begun three days of voting in a parliamentary election, with polling concluding on Sunday. The election is being held across the weekend to encourage turnout among the country's 111 million eligible voters, and authorities have also introduced electronic balloting.
This marks Russia's first wartime parliamentary election. The process features virtually no opposition and is widely expected to cement the Kremlin's political dominance.
