Fergana electoral district (Russian: ферганский избирательный округ) was a constituency created for the 1917 Russian Constituent Assembly election. The electoral district covered the Fergana Oblast.[3] Two lists were in the fray in Fergana; List 1 - Muinul Islam Society and List 2 - All-Fergana List of Deputies of Muslim Organizations. Spirin (1987) indicates that List 2 had links to the Socialist-Revolutionary Party.[4] In the autumn of 1917, a meeting of the Muslim National Committee and the Musavat Party had decided to field Mammad Amin Rasulzadeh as their candidate in Fergana.[5]
The results in the table below are based on data from Soviet historian L. M. Spirin.[4] U.S. historian Oliver Henry Radkey rejected these results as unreliable.[6]
