Residents of Russia’s Kursk region voted on Saturday in parliamentary and regional elections under heightened security following repeated drone attacks. Footage showed election officials going door to door, voters casting ballots at polling stations and election commission members preparing to take shelter if an air-raid or missile warning was issued. Local election officials said voting in parts of the region had previously been halted during Ukraine’s 2024 incursion and had now resumed. Russia’s three-day parliamentary election runs from September 18 to 20, with voting taking place under security measures across several regions. Russian authorities have also reported drone attacks and disruptions to voting systems during the election period.
