Dauria constituency
Russian legislative constituency
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dauria constituency (No.44[a]) is a Russian legislative constituency in Zabaykalsky Krai. The constituency covers western half of Chita as well as western and southern Zabaykalsky Krai. After 2025 redistricting Zabaykalsky Krai is slated to lose one of its two constituencies, so Dauria constituency is going to be dissolved and merged with Chita constituency to form new Zabaykalye constituency.
