“Day of Silence” observed in Russia
A "day of silence" is observed in Russia today ahead of regional elections. All pre-election campaigning is prohibited. The voters are granted 24 hours of ‘silence’ to help them make a conscious choice without any undue pressure. Sunday is election day in 76 of the country’s entities, with regional elections of diverse level and referendums held. Over 100 thousand observers shall be monitoring the voting. Foreigners, including representatives of the OSCE Office for Democratic institutions and Human Rights, are only granted ‘guest’, not 'observer' status at the voting stations.
