Snippet:
Russians are to elect members of the lower house, the State Duma. They also will cast ballots in local elections. Balloting will be spread over three days in a bid to boost turnout among the 111 million eligible voters, which includes, for the first time, Ukraine’s territories taken by Russia since 2022.
