The 2025 Ryazan Oblast Duma election took place on 12–14 September 2025, on common election day. All 40 seats in the Oblast Duma were up for re-election.
United Russia increased its already overwhelming majority in the Oblast Duma, winning 72.9% of the vote and all 20 single-mandate constituencies, increasing its vote share by 25 points. Liberal Democratic Party of Russia and Communist Party of the Russian Federation both lost one seat each, while New People, A Just Russia – For Truth and Party of Pensioners failed to cross the threshold and lost their entire factions.
Under current election laws, the Oblast Duma 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]
