On Friday, Russians began three days of voting in the country's first wartime parliamentary election, held in the virtual absence of any opposition, and the outcome is almost certain to cement the Kremlin's political dominance.

In an effort to boost turnout among the 111 million eligible voters, the authorities extended the election through the weekend, concluding it on Sunday, and even permitted electronic voting.

According to the Central Election Commission, turnout, including online voting, stood at roughly 30 percent as of late Friday.

Through this parliamentary election, the first to be held since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the Kremlin seeks to highlight public support for the war and to lend a veneer of legitimacy to its actions.

The Kremlin sought to avoid any political risk by eliminating even the slightest sign of opposition.

Ahead of the vote, President Vladimir Putin told the nation, "Your choice and determination will once again demonstrate that millions of people stand behind our soldiers, and that we are one nation bound together by shared values, historical memory, and love for our homeland."

The Kremlin announced that Putin had cast his vote online on Friday, while also releasing an image showing him seated in front of a computer screen.

It is almost certain that United Russia, the Kremlin's main party, will continue to dominate the State Duma, the lower house of parliament.

Several small 'systemic opposition' parties, which vote in step with the government on every key issue, are also expected to retain their seats.

Voters complete two separate ballots: one is used to choose a party listed on the ballot, filling half of the 450 seats in total, while the other half is determined through contests in single-member districts, where voters select individual candidates.

Another pensioner, Lyudmila Kalinina, expressed her hope that life would "stabilize for the better" and that "the vast gap between the ultra-wealthy and the extremely poor would come to an end," since, after all, many people never get to enjoy such a sweet life.

The liberal Yabloko party, the only registered political organization that mustered the courage to criticize the war, was removed from the ballot last month by Russia's Supreme Court, leaving only a few dozen candidates to contest single-mandate districts.
