Third day of voting underway: Vladimir Putin widely expected to win fifth term

It's the third and final day of voting in Russia's presidential election, which has been taking place across 11 time zones.
More than 114 million people are eligible to cast ballots.
President Vladimir Putin is seeking a fifth term in office.
He is widely expected to win as many of his opponents have been silenced, jailed or forced into exile.

In Russian-controlled regions of Ukraine, voting started last month.
Moscow says the turnout in these areas has been high.
Kyiv says the election is illegal and has urged Ukrainians not to take part.

Al Jazeera’s Dorsa Jabbari is standing by outside a polling station in Moscow for the latest updates.
