2024 Russian presidential election

Presidential elections are scheduled to be held in Russia in March 2024. In accordance with electoral law, the first round will be held on Sunday, 17 March. The elections will be the first after the 2020 constitutional reforms.
If no candidate receives more than half the vote, a second round will take place exactly three weeks later on 7 April 2024.
Incumbent President Vladimir Putin has the right to seek re-election. Despite the two-term limit, Putin has been granted the right to run again for two more terms, after the 2020 constitutional reform. The winner of the election is scheduled to be inaugurated on 7 May 2024.
As in the 2018 presidential election, the most prominent opposition leader, Alexei Navalny, is barred from running due to a prior criminal conviction, which is widely seen as politically motivated.
Background.
2020 constitutional reform.
According to clause 3 of article 81 of the Constitution of Russia, the same person cannot hold the position of President of the Russian Federation for more than two terms. The constitutional reform confirmed this provision, and even removed the words "in a row", because there was actually no limit on the maximum number of terms and thanks to which Vladimir Putin again became President in 2012. However, at the same time, the number of terms previously held by the incumbent and former presidents has ceased to be taken into account, which is why Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev received the right to be elected again for two new terms.
