The 2024 State Assembly of the Mari El Republic election took place on 6–8 September 2024, on common election day. All 52 seats in the State Assembly were up for reelection.
United Russia retained its majority in the State Assembly, winning 61% of the vote. Liberal Democratic Party of Russia and Communist Party of the Russian Federation suffered heavy losses, while A Just Russia – For Truth lost its entire three-member delegation.
Under current election laws, the State Assembly is elected for a term of five years, with parallel voting. 13 seats are elected by party-list proportional representation with a 5% electoral threshold, with the other half elected in 39 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]
