Alegeri în Rusia, la Ambasada de la București

Elections for the State Duma in Russia are taking place from September 18 to 20, with voting available for Russian citizens in Romania at the Russian Embassy in Bucharest. The embassy announced the opening of the polling station, which has drawn various reactions from Romanians, including ironic comments about the election and the Moscow regime. Voting began on September 20 at 08:00 local time and will continue until 20:00. Eligible voters must be at least 18 years old and present a valid Russian passport. This election is the first parliamentary vote since the large-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, occurring in a politically restrictive environment. The results will determine the composition of the Russian parliament for the next five years.
