The "Noon against Putin" protest was initially promoted by late opposition activist Alexei Navalny before his death. Voters are asked to crowd polling stations at noon, in a bid to overwhelm the authorities.
Russian opposition members called on eligible voters to join the "Noon against Putin" protest at polling stations across the country on Sunday, the final day of voting in Russia's three-day presidential election.
Voters were asked to crowd polling stations at exactly noon in Russia's 11 time zones to protest without endangering themselves by violating Moscow's strict anti-protest law.
Many protests have erupted since Russia's presidential election started on Friday, where President Vladimir Putin is all but certain to win. Several arrests have been made, including against Russians accused of pouring dye into ballot boxes and arson attacks.
