The Kerch constituency (No.20) is a Russian legislative constituency in the Republic of Crimea. The constituency covers central and eastern Crimea.
The constituency has been represented since its creation in 2016 by United Russia deputy Konstantin Bakharev, former First Deputy Chairman of the State Council of the Republic of Crimea and journalist.
2016–2026: Kerch, Kirovsky District, Krasnogvardeysky District, Leninsky District, Nizhnegorsky District, Simferopol (Kievsky), Simferopolsky District (Donskoye, Gvardeyskoye, Mazanskoye, Molodezhninskoye, Novoandreyevskoye, Pervomayskoye, Shirokovskoye, Trudovskoye, Urozhaynovskoye), Sovetsky District[2]
The constituency was created for the first time for the 2016 election. This seat covered central and western Crimea, stretching from eastern Simferopol to Kerch.
Since 2026: Alushta, Belogorsky District, Feodosia, Kerch, Kirovsky District, Leninsky District, Sudak, Yalta[3]
After 2025 redistricting the constituency was significantly altered as it gained the entirety of the Black Sea coastal resorts (the Southern Coast of Crimea) from Simferopol constituency, stretching from Feodosia to Yalta. The constituency lost its part of Simferopol and its suburbs to Simferopol constituency, and most of central Crimea – to Yevpatoria constituency.
