2023 Vladimir Oblast Legislative Assembly election

Under current election laws, the Legislative Assembly is elected for a term of five years, with parallel voting. 15 seats are elected by party-list proportional representation with a 5% electoral threshold, with the other half elected in 25 single-member constituencies by first-past-the-post voting. Until 2023 the number of mandates allocated in proportional and majoritarian parts were standing at 19 each. Seats in the proportional part are allocated using the Imperiali quota, modified to ensure that every party list, which passes the threshold, receives at least one mandate.^[1]

To register regional lists of candidates, parties need to collect 0.5% of signatures of all registered voters in Vladimir Oblast.

The following parties were relieved from the necessity to collect signatures:^[2]

• United Russia
• Communist Party of the Russian Federation
• A Just Russia — Patriots — For Truth
• Liberal Democratic Party of Russia
• New People
• Russian Party of Freedom and Justice
• Russian Party of Pensioners for Social Justice

New People will take part in Vladimir Oblast legislative election for the first time, while Yabloko and Russian Party of Freedom and Justice (then known as Communist Party of Social Justice and even had its own faction), who participated in the last election, did not file.

25 single-mandate constituencies were formed in Vladimir Oblast, an increase of 6 seats since last redistricting in 2018. To register candidates in single-mandate constituencies need to collect 3% of signatures of registered voters in the constituency.
