Turnout on Russia's Federal Remote Electronic Voting Platform Reaches 70%, TASS Reports
More than 2.8 million people have cast ballots online as of the latest count, according to Russian state news agency TASS.
Turnout on Russia's federal remote electronic voting platform has reached 70 percent, according to a report published by the state news agency TASS on Tuesday.
TASS reported that more than 2.8 million people had already voted using the online system, citing figures from the platform without specifying the source of the data or the particular election or vote in which the system is being used.
The report did not provide additional details on the total number of registered voters eligible to use the platform, the timeframe of the voting period, or the specific election being conducted.
