> September 20 marked the final day of Russia’s State Duma elections. The opposition urged voters to cast ballots at noon to protest the war against Ukraine. Russians in several countries joined the action, though in smaller numbers than in 2024, while only a few people reportedly appeared at noon in cities across Russia. Lines in Moscow were likely linked mainly to a technical failure affecting paper ballots.
