Over 111 million voters are eligible to vote in Russia, with 1.87 million of these currently abroad. Some 95,000 polling stations will be open across Russia throughout election day, while another 371 have been set up in Russian diplomatic missions in 145 countries.
Most polling stations are located in schools and other education facilities. Some may also be set up inside military facilities and court buildings, as well as on vessels, at polar research stations, in hospitals, holiday resorts, airports, train stations and detention facilities.
Video monitoring has also been set up in 15 regions and in 13 largest cities. Around one third of all polling stations will therefore be monitored by video surveillance, covering up to 40 million voters.
During Sunday's elections, Russian voters will choose representatives to the Russian parliament's lower chamber of 450 seats. Half of the lawmakers will be elected from the party lists, while another 225 seats are contested in a single-member constituency race.
