“Medvedev is a wonderful, young, handsome energetic man who will continue Putin’s work and be a shining example to our children,” said Tamara Razumova, a Medvedev voter who works in a polling station in Moscow.
Turnout was the only electoral uncertainty on Sunday. It stood at 15 per cent nationwide by midday Moscow time, Central Elections Commission chief Vladimir Churov said. He said that was slightly higher than during parliamentary elections in December.
Polling stations offered food and office supplies at a discount. In Medvedev’s native St. Petersburg, some voters quaffed bargain beer at their polling place. Others showed up for the goods - but didn’t bother to vote.
