BBC News - Russia election: Vladimir Putin seeks third term

BBC News - Russia election: Vladimir Putin seeks third term: "Mr Putin was head of state from 2000 to 2008, but barred by the constitution from standing for a third consecutive term. He faces four challengers.

Poll officials say turnout is higher than for the last election in 2008.

But opponents have reported widespread violations, with many people voting more than once.

The League of Voters volunteer observer group said it had recorded 3,000 violations in total."
