MOSCOW, March 14. /TASS/. As of today, about 2 mln Russian citizens have already voted early in Russia’s presidential election, Central Election Commission (CEC) Chairwoman Ella Pamfilova said during a meeting at the CEC Information Center.

Early voting has been available since February 25 in 42 Russian regions.
