Russians are voting in a presidential poll on Sunday, bringing to a close Vladimir Putin's eight years in office.
Polling stations in the Far East opened at 0800 (2000 GMT Saturday), in a vote pitting deputy prime minister Dmitry Medvedev against three challengers.
If elected, Medvedev, the Kremlin's preferred candidate, has promised to make Putin his prime minister.
More than 109 million Russians are eligible to vote in the elections.
The BBC's Richard Galpin in Vladivostok says there was barely any campaigning by any of the candidates and there is little excitement amongst the electorate.
But despite the lack of enthusiasm voting has been steady there throughout the day, he says.
