Russia's presidential elections started on March 15, 2024. There are two days left for this election. In the midst of the conflict with Ukraine, silent surveys are being conducted throughout Russia.
The presidential election has begun, with one lakh polling places set up nationwide. Voting has been going on since early in the morning. Voting in these elections is being done for the first time by residents of Russian areas and portions of seized Ukraine.
This election is a four-cornered race. The National Freedom Democratic Party, the Communist Party, and the New People's Party are contesting against President Putin in his independent capacity. Putin is predicted to secure a fifth term as president in the event that there isn't a formidable opposition contender.
Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, is expected to win reelection for a fifth term, according to opinion polls. Approximately 86% of respondents to a survey by the Levada Center in Moscow agreed with Putin. Notable is the fact that Putin, one of the world's most formidable presidents, has presided over Russia for nearly two decades.
