Live Updates: Tracking the Results of Russia's 2024 Presidential Election

18:00 GMT 17.03.2024 (Updated: 12:40 GMT 28.03.2024)

March 17, 2024, was formally declared by the Russian Federation Council as the official date for the presidential election. Following this declaration, the Russian Central Election Commission (CEC) unveiled the voting schedule, spanning three days from March 15 to 17.

The Russian Federation's president is elected by its citizens for a six-year term. In the 2024 election, four candidates are vying for the presidency: Vladimir Putin as an independent candidate, Nikolai Kharitonov from the Communist Party (CPRF), Leonid Slutsky from the Liberal Democratic Party (LDPR), and Vladislav Davankov from the New People party.

A novel E-voting system, allowing remote electronic voting, has been introduced for the first time in this election cycle, implemented by the Central Election Commission. This innovative approach enables voters in 29 Russian regions to cast their ballots from afar.

As the final polling station in Russia shut its doors at 6pm GMT, marking the end of voting within the country, attention now turns to overseas locations where voting persists. Meanwhile, the meticulous task of counting votes has commenced under the oversight of the Central Election Commission.

As ballots are still being counted, follow Sputnik's live updates to see who's leading the presidential race at the moment:
