The Nizhnevartovsk constituency (No.223[a]) is a Russian legislative constituency in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug. The constituency covers eastern Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, including Surgut and Nizhnevartovsk.
The constituency has been represented since 2021 by United Russia deputy Vadim Shuvalov, Deputy Governor of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug and former Mayor of Surgut, who won the open seat, succeeding one-term United Russia incumbent Aleksandr Sidorov.
1993–2003: Langepas, Megion, Nizhnevartovsk, Nizhnevartovsky District, Pokachi, Raduzhny, Surgut[2][3]
The constituency was based in eastern Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, covering oil-mining cities Langepas, Megion, Nizhnevartovsk, Pokachi, Raduzhny and Surgut. This seat was non-contiguous as Surgut was fully surrounded by Surgutsky District, part of Khanty-Mansiysk constituency.
2003–2007: Langepas, Megion, Nizhnevartovsk, Nizhnevartovsky District, Pokachi, Raduzhny, Surgut, Surgutsky District (Bely Yar, Lokosovo)[4]
After the 2003 redistricting the constituency was slightly changed, gaining Bely Yar and Lokosovo in Surgutsky District from Khanty-Mansiysk constituency.
2016–2026: Langepas, Megion, Nizhnevartovsk, Nizhnevartovsky District, Pokachi, Raduzhny, Surgut, Surgutsky District (Lokosovo)[5]
The constituency was re-created for the 2016 election and retained most of its former territory, losing Bely Yar to Khanty-Mansiysk constituency.
Since 2026: Langepas, Megion, Nizhnevartovsk, Nizhnevartovsky District, Pokachi, Raduzhny, Surgut, Surgutsky District (part of Lokosovo)[6]
Following the 2025 redistricting the constituency was slightly altered, losing most of Lokosovo in Surgutsky District to Khanty-Mansiysk constituency, except for a small strip connecting Surgut with the rest of the constituency.
