In Crimea, turnout in the Russian presidential elections was 85.5%, as reported by the head of the Electoral Commission of the Republic, Mikhail Malyshev, on March 17 in a meeting with journalists.
“1.7 million Crimeans voted”– said Malyshev.
It was previously reported that polling stations for the Russian presidential elections were closed in Crimea and Sevastopol.
Soon the local electoral commissions will summarize the results of the electoral participation.
Let us remember that the elections in Russia were held in three days, from March 15 to 17. Four candidates participated in them: Vladimir Putin, Communist Party member Nikolai Kharitonov, LDPR leader Leonid Slutsky and New People’s party representative Vladislav Davankov.
On March 2, 2024, in the Libyan city of Benghazi, at the Tibesti hotel, early voting for the presidential elections of the Russian Federation was organized.
Let us also remember that on March 16, 2014, exactly ten years ago, a referendum on reunification with Russia was held in Crimea.
Residents of the peninsula voted overwhelmingly to join Russia. In Sevastopol, 95.6% of voters voted in favor, in Crimea – 96.77%. As a result of the referendum, Crimea became Russian again.
