> Russia’s ninth State Duma election will take place from September 18 to 20, after anti-war party Yabloko was disqualified. Overseas voting is planned in 152 countries at 319 polling stations, with differing dates and early voting in some locations. Voters need an original document proving identity and Russian citizenship, generally do not need advance registration, and may qualify for remote electronic voting if their registered Russian region supports it.
