Amu Darya electoral district (Russian: Аму-Дарьинский избирательный округ) was a constituency created for the 1917 Russian Constituent Assembly election. One seat was allotted to the district.[2] The electoral district covered the Amu Darya Division of the Syr-Darya Oblast.[3] According to U.S. historian Oliver Henry Radkey, it is not known whether voting took place.[2] Per Wade (2004), it is certain that no election took place in Amu Darya.[4]
In the autumn of 1917, a meeting of the Muslim National Committee and the Musavat Party had decided to field Nasib Yusifbeyli as their candidate in Amu Darya.[5]
