MOSCOW (Reuters) - State election monitors will audit the results of online voting in Moscow that swung the outcome in several districts in favour of the ruling United Russia party in last week's parliamentary election, the Interfax news agency reported on Wednesday.

The election was the first major Russian vote where people could vote online in some locations instead of using paper ballots. About 2 million Muscovites voted online and some 1.7 million cast paper ballots.
