Sep. 10 (EUROPA PRESS) –

The President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, has voted this Saturday by electronic means in the municipal elections in Moscow, within the framework of elections that started on Friday and will last until Sunday in more than 80 regions of the Eurasian country.

“The president has participated in online voting in the elections to the representative bodies of the Moscow government,” the Kremlin said in a brief message along with a photograph of the president voting.

After that, the president stressed that the population “can cast their vote in advance and remotely.” “That’s what I just did. It’s a very convenient and reliable system.” I recommend it to anyone who wants to use it. In any case, I expect an active position and that each one makes his choice “, he has added.


According to information collected by the Russian news agency Interfax, the polling stations in Moscow have reopened their doors this Saturday for a second day of voting to elect local parliaments and governors. They are scheduled to close their doors at 8:00 p.m. (local time).

In total, more than 45 million people are called to the polls, in elections marked by the invasion of Ukraine, triggered on February 24 by order of Putin. The opponents have faced growing pressure and those who have spoken out against the invasion have been removed from the electoral race, as reported by the German news agency DPA.
