Furthermore, the observer pointed out that
Russian citizens are voting “freely” and they can do it in every corner of the country – you just need to have an ID with you.
"People voting freely, practicing democracy of choosing who they want freely. As long as they have identity [ID], as long as they have eligibility to vote, no matter where they were registered, they can go to any polling station and vote," he noted.

Russia to learn from the friendly country how elections can be practiced.
