Russian voters have approved changes to the constitution that will allow President Vladimir Putin to potentially stay in power until 2036. The 67-year-old has ruled Russia for more than two decades as President or Prime Minister. He has now won the right to run for two more six-year terms after the current one ends in 2024. The vote seeks to introduce amendments to Russia’s 1993 Constitution, which will include protecting the institution of marriage, setting children as a priority of Russia’s domestic policy and an obligation to support and protect Russia’s culture.
