Russia's ruling party United Russia, which backs President Vladimir Putin, is on track to secure a majority following a three-day parliamentary election, early results suggest.
Voting concluded late Sunday in Russia, after people across the country cast votes for members of the State Duma -- the lower house of the Russian Parliament -- and several regional and municipal heads.
With 28.75% of the ballots counted at the time of writing, Russia's Central Election Commission said United Russia had so far gained 44.92%, RIA Novosti reported.
