In the Russian capital Moscow, electoral centers opened their doors for voters for the third and final day as scheduled, according to the Chairwoman of the Moscow City Election Commission, Olga Kirillova.

"All centers opened their doors [for voters] normally today," Kirillova announced, adding that all voting systems are functioning properly on Sunday. 

On his part, the head of the Public Headquarters for Election Observation in Moscow, Vadim Kovalev, said that nearly 70,000 voters in Moscow submitted their balots online since Saturday night. 

According to the Election Commission in the capital, more than 4.3 million voters in Moscow submitted their ballots as of 8:00 am (local time) on Monday. 

In Russian-controlled areas in the Zaporizhzhia Oblast, a Ukrainian suicide drone attacked an electoral center causing fire, the Oblast's Election Commission told Sputnik on Sunday morning, adding that the center had not yet opened its doors.
