Russia will hold presidential polls on March 4, 2012, RIA Novosti reports.
The last presidential polls were held in March 2008. Formally, voting should be held on March 11, 2012, but the International Women’s Day on March 8 forces a shift to March 4.
Setting of the election day by the Federation Council will be published in the Rossiyskaya Gazeta or Parlamentskaya Gazeta 5 days ahead of approval.
