Voters were seen flocking to a polling station in Johannesburg on Sunday to cast their ballots on the last day of Russia’s presidential election.

Footage shows crowds arriving at the Russian embassy, registering to vote and then casting their ballots.

"I think we need to vote because we decide for ourselves what our future will be like and we don't shift responsibility on anyone else,” a Russian citizen said.

"I agree that it's important to vote and show an example for the younger generation that it's important to make a choice,” added a second.

Russia's presidential election took place over three days on March 15-17, with early voting between February 25 and March 14.

After 99,76 per cent of the votes were counted, incumbent President Vladimir Putin had secured 87,29 per cent, according to the election commission, while the other three candidates had less than 5 per cent.
