The 2025 Legislative Assembly of Kaluga Oblast election took place on 12–14 September 2025, on common election day, coinciding with 2025 Kaluga Oblast gubernatorial election. All 40 seats in the Legislative Assembly were up for re-election.
United Russia increased its already overwhelming majority in the Legislative Assembly, winning 58.6% of the vote and all 20 single-mandate constituencies. Communist Party of the Russian Federation and New People lost one seat each, while A Just Russia – For Truth received almost similar result but lost two seats.
Under current election laws, the Legislative Assembly is elected for a term of five years, with parallel voting. 20 seats are elected by party-list proportional representation with a 5% electoral threshold, with the other half elected in 20 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]
