In the Russian Federation, presidential elections began. The first polling stations have just opened in Kamchatka and Chukotka - there are now 8 am.

And all over the country today will work more than 97 thousand polling stations and another 400 - abroad. You can vote until 20 pm local time, like the TV channel "Russia 24". As in the day of silence, any campaigning for candidates and political advertising is banned on election day.

There are many innovations in this election. For example, the Mobile Voter service allowed the Russians to promptly inform at which sector they want to vote, if they can not on their territorial territory. And this was used by more than 5.5 million voters. Bulletins have degrees of protection, they can not be faked. Complexes of electronic processing (KOIB) became more than twice as many. And for the first time, video cameras were installed not only at polling stations, but also in all territorial election commissions. That is, everyone can follow not only the voting process, but also the counting of ballots.
