MOSCOW: Queues formed outside Moscow polling stations on Sunday (Mar 17) as some voters heeded a call by supporters of late opposition leader Alexei Navalny to cast protest votes in Russia

People queue outside a polling station during Russia's presidential election in Moscow on Mar 17, 2024. Russian opposition has called on people to head to the polls on Mar 17, 2024, at noon, in large numbers to overwhelm polling stations, in a protest that they hope will be a legal show of strength against President Vladimir Putin.

At another polling station in southwest Moscow, Leonid, an 18-year-old student, said there were"not that many people" taking part in the protest but he was"just happy that some people came". Navalny later attempted to run against Putin in the 2018 presidential election but his candidacy was rejected. She said it had felt good to come to the polling station and be"with people who are on the side of light and truth".
