Incidents involved green dye being poured into ballot boxes, the boxes being set alight and fireworks being set off inside polling stations, state media reported.
BBC Verify has so far verified footage of six incidents across Russia, including a video showing a woman throwing a petrol bomb near a St Petersburg polling station.
Other authenticated videos showed paint being poured into ballot boxes at various polling stations. In one, a woman could be seen pouring bright green liquid into a box in Moscow. Another showed a fire breaking out at a voting booth.
Russia has also enforced the vote in occupied areas of Ukraine - in the small town of Skadovsk, Russian-appointed officials said an improvised device exploded in a rubbish bin in front of a polling station, but no one was hurt.
Republicans (looking through binoculars): “write that down. WRITE THAT DOWN”
Other than protest, is the idea that spoiling real-people ballots will make election-rigging even more obvious?
I think the idea is the whole election is illegitimate, so they’re taking a massive shit on it in lieu of Putin’s grave.
Probably protesting that there aren’t any actual alternatives as they’ve been eliminated.
Green dye?
Just a tad early for St. Patrick's Day, but you guys keep it up!
Damnit, I came here to make this joke on an otherwise serious issue, but now I can't because you great me to it.
I'll get you next time, banana!
It's Che Banana to you, I didn't spend 4 years in an Argentinian whore house to be called Banana
Took me a second to figure out the meaning of the green dye.
If they're holding Russian elections in parts of Ukraine, and people are fucking with it, good.
