Voting continues in Russia's presidential election, with polling stations opening in Moscow about an hour ago.

The first poll opened on Saturday in the country's Far East. About 110 million Russian citizens are eligible to vote in this year's election. 15-hundred international observers from 109 countries are monitoring the vote. Eight candidates are in the running for the country's top post, including incumbent President Vladimir Putin. One recent poll says about sixty-five percent of respondents would vote for Putin.
