The 2024 State Assembly of the Altai Republic election took place on 6–8 September 2024, on common election day, coinciding with 2024 Altai head election. All 41 seats in the State Assembly were up for re-election.
United Russia retained its overwhelming majority in the State Assembly, winning 54% of the vote and all 30 single-mandate constituencies. Liberal Democratic Party of Russia recorded gains after its alliance with local Party of Business and came second with 18%, while Communist Party of the Russian Federation suffered a crushing defeat (14%), losing six of its seven seats. Rodina failed to cross the threshold and lost its only seat.
Under current election laws, the State Assembly is elected for a term of five years, with parallel voting. 11 seats are elected by party-list proportional representation with a 5% electoral threshold, with the other half elected in 30 single-member constituencies by first-past-the-post voting. 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]
