In the parliamentary elections in Russia, this Sunday is the day of the decision.
More than 110 million people are called to elect a new State Duma.
14 parties are allowed.
In the battle for 450 seats in the State Duma, the Kremlin Party, United Russia, is hoping for an absolute majority again.
But independent election observers and the excluded opposition around the imprisoned Kremlin opponent Alexei Navalnyj raised doubts about the fairness of the polls.
There were thousands of allegations of tampering in the first two days.
The independent election observation organization Golos listed more than 3,000 violations on Saturday.
The Communist Party, which expects an increase in votes because of widespread dissatisfaction with Kremlin policies, also complained about attempts at manipulation.
She announced protests.
Independent observers and members of the opposition fear that the Kremlin party will secure a new election victory through massive fraud.
Allegedly ballot boxes crammed full
Since the start of the election on Friday there have been numerous reports of forced voting, the cramping of ballot boxes with packs of ballot papers and multiple votes. Election supervisor Ella Pamfilowa had announced an examination of the allegations - she already declared more than 6,000 ballot papers invalid on Saturday. It also confirmed receipt of 137 complaints about pressure on voters to cast their votes.
The election is an important test of sentiment for Russia's President Vladimir Putin.
In some cases, new regional and city parliaments are also elected.
In the total of more than 4,400 elections, over 31,000 new mandates are awarded.
Many prominent members of the opposition were not allowed to vote.
The Kremlin opponent, Alexei Navalnyj, who was imprisoned in the penal camp, therefore called for a protest election against the Kremlin party, United Russia.
Youtube blocks Navalnyj video
On the main day of the vote, the video platform Youtube blocked a film by Navalnyj's team with an election call under pressure from the authorities. The video contained the names of candidates who were nominated by the opposition for election. "This is a gross act of censorship," criticized the Kremlin opponents after YouTube's decision. “It's a shame,” said Navalnyj's employee Leonid Volkov on Saturday evening. The video was blocked because of "extremism". But it only contained 225 names of approved candidates.
The election recommendations continued on Twitter.
Navalny's team is calling on voters to "cast a smart vote" to break the Kremlin party's monopoly on power.
The activists gave specific names of candidates from other parties to vote for.
There are also many communists among them.
The authorities had criticized this as interference in the election and stressed that agitation during the vote was prohibited.
Also blocked on Telegram
The IT giants Google and Apple had already removed Navalnyj's apps from their Russian stores on Friday. Telegram founder Pavel Durov also announced on Saturday that he had blocked the bots for Navalnyj's electoral system. The team of the opponents of the Kremlin was disappointed that the Internet giants kissed the authorities. In Russia, many websites with content critical of the government are blocked. Moscow courts fined the corporations in several trials.
The turnout on the second day was given as 31.51 percent. On the third day of voting in the largest country in terms of area with its eleven time zones, the last polling stations will close at 8 p.m. CEST in the Baltic Sea region of Kaliningrad. The results of the online voting, which was held for the first time, are then expected comparatively quickly. Kremlin chief Putin also voted online.
