The 2025 Voronezh Oblast Duma election took place on 12–14 September 2025, on common election day. All 56 seats in the Oblast Duma were up for re-election.

United Russia increased its already overwhelming majority in the Oblast Duma, winning 73.9% of the vote and all 28 single-mandate constituencies. Communist Party of the Russian Federation and Liberal Democratic Party of Russia lost one seat each, while A Just Russia – For Truth suffered heavy defeat, losing more than half of its vote share and entire two-member faction. New People entered the Oblast Duma for the first time.

Under current election laws, the Oblast Duma is elected for a term of five years, with parallel voting. 28 seats are elected by party-list proportional representation with a 5% electoral threshold, with the other half elected in 28 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]
