Over 4.2 Million Vote Early in 12 Russian Border Regions, Election Official Says
Central Election Commission Chair Ella Pamfilova said early voting figures included regions such as the Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics, and the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions.
More than 4.2 million voters have cast ballots during early voting across 12 Russian border regions, according to Central Election Commission Chair Ella Pamfilova, as reported by TASS.
Pamfilova specifically mentioned the Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics, along with the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, as among the areas included in the early voting tally, according to TASS.
The report did not specify the exact time period covered by the early voting figures or provide a breakdown of turnout by individual region. TASS did not detail the purpose or nature of the vote in question.
Russia has incorporated the Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics along with the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions into its territory following its actions in Ukraine, though these annexations are not recognized by Ukraine or most of the international community.
Further details on the voting process and its outcomes were not immediately available from the source.
