Putin Votes In Russia's Parliamentary Elections For The First Time Online

On Friday, Vladimir Putin voted online in the elections of deputies to the State Duma of the Russian Federation.

This is the first time that the Russian president did not go to a polling station to vote. On Tuesday, Putin announced that he had to self-isolate after coronavirus cases had been identified in his inner circle.

Residents of seven Russian regions this time have the opportunity to cast their ballots remotely online. Voter registration for online voting, which ended at 11:59 pm on September 13, required a confirmed account on the Gosuslugi or mos.ru public services websites.
