Galleries: Polling day at Estonia's local elections
Sunday is election day and voters went to the polls to elect councils to Estonia's 79 municipalities across the country.
In total, 356 polling stations were opened across the country at 9 a.m., and will close at 8 p.m.
ERR's photographers captured voters casting their ballots across the country from the northeastern border city Narva, to the summer capital Pärnu on the west coast and in several districts of the capital.
At midday, there were plenty of voters to be seen in Narva, but turnout in Ida-Viru County remained among the lowest in the country. During the advance voting period, 37.5 percent of voters (13,471) in Ida-Viru County cast an e-vote.
Similar figures were seen in Rapla County and Pärnu County. In Pärnu city, however, turnout had reached nearly 50 percent by 3 p.m. with five hours to go. Turnout was recorded at 37.4 percent during advance voting last week.
In Tallinn, ERR visited polling stations in the Nõmme suburb and Lasnamäe, the largest in the capital.
President Alar Karis and his wife Sirje also cast their ballots in Tartu on Sunday morning.
