Just in from TASS:
Some polling stations in the Luhansk People's Republic will remain open until 10 p.m. amid a high voter turnout, the head of the republic's Central Election Commission (CEC), Sergei Kozyakov, said.
"The CEC convened for an emergency session, and a decision was made that those polling stations that so far fail to cope with the flow of people, will remain open until 10 p.m.," he said.
