Vladimir Putin, a candidate in the Russian presidential race, reportedly secured 89.1 percent of the vote in Moscow through remote electronic voting and electronic terminals, according to Olga Kirillova, the head of the Moscow city election commissions. The figures reflect early tallies from the DEG system, which handles remote voting processes and on-site electronic balloting in the capital.
“Putin – 89.1%,” Kirillova stated, underscoring the strong lead observed in the capital.
Alongside Putin, Vladislav Davankov, the New People party contender, was reported to receive 4.4 percent of Moscow’s votes, while Nikolai Kharitonov from the Communist Party group gathered 3.3 percent, and Leonid Slutsky’s LDPR candidacy stood at 3.2 percent.
Earlier, Ella Pamfilova, the chairwoman of Russia’s Central Election Commission, indicated that with about 24.4 percent of ballots processed nationwide, Putin enjoyed an 87.97 percent lead in the country’s presidential election.
Earlier remarks from Pamfilova noted that the number of people intending to vote rose in response to reports of damage to ballot boxes, and the election process included observations of both online and in-person participation. In one notable note, Kinyagul Salimgareev, described as a hermit who has lived in the Bashkir forest for nearly 50 years, cast a ballot in the Russian presidential elections. A line of Russians stretching close to a kilometer reportedly formed at a polling station in Phuket. How did the final day of online voting unfold?
These updates reflect participation in the election conducted under the DEG framework, which orchestrates remote and electronic voting components alongside traditional methods.
