Russian citizens were forced to cast their votes in presidential elections from their beds today as polling officials set out to garner a high turnout for incumbent president Vladimir Putin.

Running effectively unchallenged, the 71-year-old Kremlin chief is almost certain to secure another six-year term with any legitimate political opponents in jail, in exile or in the ground after his fiercest of opponents, Alexei Navalny, died in the depths of a remote Arctic penal colony last month.

The three other candidates on the ballot are low-profile politicians from token opposition parties that toe the Kremlin's line.
