Russians vote yes to extend Putin’s term July 01, 2020 at 04:05PM

Russians appeared to have paved the way for Vladimir Putin to stay in power until 2036 by voting overwhelmingly for a package of constitutional changes, partial results of a nationwide vote showed on Wednesday. Results, after almost a third of ballots had been counted, indicated that Putin would easily win the right to run for two more terms. That means he could remain president for 16 more years.
