Federal elections
State Duma by-elections
Nine State Duma constituencies that became vacant in late 2024 – early 2025 were initially scheduled to hold by-elections on September 14, 2025, however, in February 2025 a group of senators and deputies led by Andrey Klishas introduced a bill banning all by-elections to federal, regional and municipal legislatures during two years prior to the regular election (current law prevents holding by-elections only during the last year of the convocation).[1] On May 20, 2025, State Duma adopted amendments to the electoral law, including the banning of by-elections two years prior to the regular election by a 327–54 vote.[2] On May 21 Federation Council approved the amendments and on May 23 President Vladimir Putin signed the bill into law.[3][4] Following the bill passage all 2025 State Duma by-elections were cancelled and the seats would remain vacant until 2026 Russian legislative election.
