“As we have already noted, we use modern technologies to counteract, taking into account the fact that traditionally on voting days, activity increases. Today, everything is going on as usual, we do not see any serious activities yet”, - CEC member Anton Lopatin commented to RIA Novosti.

Earlier, small DDoS attacks on the e-voting portal were recorded at the Public Headquarters for Election Observation in Moscow.

This year , residents of Moscow, Sevastopol, Kursk, Nizhny Novgorod, Yaroslavl, Murmansk and Rostov regions, as well as Russians living in the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, are participating in remote voting.
