"At 15:45 more than 150 thousand people voted," TASS quoted Vyshinsky as saying.

He stressed that the above number of voters is approximate due to the fact that some Russian citizens living in the DPR and LPR had previously been registered in Russia and took part in the elections, "having the opportunity to vote not only for federal party lists."

Earlier it was reported that bus routes were organized for those voting in Russia in the elections to the State Duma of the LPR residents.
