Another video from our correspondent in Moscow, Chris Miller:
Aleksei Navalny's website Navalny.com is updating turnout in real time based on reports from his electoral observers. In some cases, the opposition leader's turnout estimates are even higher than the Central Election Commissions.

And Mikhail Vinogradov, president of the Petersburg Politics Foundation, compares the 2012 and 2018 turnout in regions in the Far East .
Aleksei Navalny isn't on the ballott. But his YouTube channel will be broadcasting from the polls throughout the day.
