Servicemen and civilian personnel in the Russian peacekeeping mission to Karabakh took part in early voting in the presidential election in footage published on Thursday.

Election commission members are seen registering the peacekeepers and giving them ballots, as well as the servicemen entering polling booths and placing their ballots into the ballot box.

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

The four candidates are Leonid Slutsky of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR), the Communist Party's Nikolai Kharitonov, Vladislav Davankov of the New People Party and incumbent President Vladimir Putin, running as an independent candidate.

Following the long-running conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh, Baku retook the breakaway territory, a separatist area governed by ethnic Armenians, in September.

Subsequently, Nagorno-Karabakh's government said the self-declared republic would cease to exist by January 2024, while many ethnic Armenians left the area.
