CNN —Russia is nearing a presidential election that is all but certain to extend Vladimir Putin’s rule throughout this decade and into the 2030s.
The president’s dominance over the Russian electoral system has already been reinforced as the election looms.
Voting will be held from Friday March 15 until Sunday March 17, the first Russian presidential election to take place over three days.
The region makes up more than a third of Russia’s total territory but has only about 5% of its population.
In order to vote against Putin, you just need to vote for any other candidate,” Navalny said on February 8.
