Boundaries
1993–1995: Aksaysky District, Kuybyshevsky District, Matveyevo-Kurgansky District, Myasnikovsky District, Neklinovsky District, Novocherkassk, Taganrog[2]
The constituency stretched from Rostov-on-Don northern and north-eastern suburbs to western Rostov Oblast and covered the cities Novocherkassk and Taganrog.
1995–2007: Azov, Azovsky District, Kagalnitsky District, Matveyevo-Kurgansky District, Neklinovsky District, Taganrog[3][4]
After the 1995 redistricting Rostov Oblast gained the seventh constituency, so all other districts were redrawn. Taganrog constituency lost its eastern portion: Novocherkassk was given to new Belaya Kalitva constituency, Aksaysky District – to Proletarsky constituency, Myasnikovsky District – to Rostov constituency, while Kuybyshevsky District was drawn into Shakhty constituency. This seat instead gained the entirety of the Azov Sea coast and Rostov-on-Don southern suburbs and exurbs, including Azov, from the former Rostov-Sovetsky constituency.
2016–2026: Kuybyshevsky District, Matveyevo-Kurgansky District, Myasnikovsky District (Bolshesalskoye, Chaltyrskoye, Krasnokrymskoye, Krymskoye, Petrovskoye), Neklinovsky District, Rostov-on-Don (Oktyabrsky), Taganrog[5]
The constituency was re-created for the 2016 election and retained only its northern half, losing Kagalnitsky District to Rostov constituency, Azov and Azovsky District – to new Nizhnedonskoy constituency. This seat instead re-gained Kuybyshevsky District from Shakhty constituency as well as was drawn to grab north-western Rostov-on-Don and most of Myasnikovsky District from the former Rostov constituency.
Since 2026 Neklinovsky constituency: Kuybyshevsky District, Matveyevo-Kurgansky District, Myasnikovsky District, Neklinovsky District, Novoshakhtinsk, Oktyabrsky District (Alekseyevskoye, Bessergenevskoye, Kamenolomni, Kommunarskoye, Krasnokutskoye, Krasnoluchskoye, Krasyukovskoye, Krivyanskoye, Mokrologskoye, Persianovskoye), Rodionovo-Nesvetaysky District, Taganrog[6]
Following the 2025 redistricting Rostov Oblast lost one of its seven constituencies, so all the remaining seats saw major changes. The constituency took the name "Neklinovsky constituency" and lost its portion of Rostov-on-Don to Rostov constituency. This seat took the rest of Myasnikovsky District from Nizhnedonskoy constituency and was pushed eastwards to grab Novoshakhtinsk, Rodionovo-Nesvetaysky District and most of Oktyabrsky District from the eliminated Shakhty constituency.
