The Tver constituency (No.179[a]) is a Russian legislative constituency in Tver Oblast. The constituency covers part of Tver on the right bank of the Volga river and eastern Tver Oblast, including the towns Bezhetsk, Kimry, Konakovo and Udomlya.
The constituency has been represented since 2021 by United Russia deputy Yulia Saranova, a non-profit executive, who won the open seat, succeeding two-term United Russia incumbent Svetlana Maksimova after the latter unsuccessfully sought re-election only through party-list representation.
1993–2007: Andreapolsky District, Belsky District, Kalininsky District, Kuvshinovsky District, Nelidovsky District, Oleninsky District, Rzhev, Rzhevsky District, Selizharovsky District, Staritsky District, Toropetsky District, Tver, Zapadnodvinsky District, Zharkovsky District, Zubtsovsky District[2][3][4]
The constituency covered the entirety of the oblast capital Tver, its suburbs as well as rural western Tver Oblast, including the town Rzhev.
2016–present: Bezhetsky District, Kalininsky District (Burashevskoye, Emmausskoye, Kablukovskoye, Krasnogorskoye, Nikulinskoye, Orsha, Shcherbininskyoe, Slavnovskoye, Sukhoverkovo, Turginovskoye, Verkhnevolzhskoye), Kalyazinsky District, Kashinsky District, Kesovogorsky District, Kimrsky District, Kimry, Konakovsky District, Krasnokholmsky District, Lesnoy District, Maksatikhinsky District, Molokovsky District, Rameshkovsky District, Sandovsky District, Sonkovsky District, Tver (Moskovsky, Proletarsky, Tsentralny), Udomelsky District, Vesyegonsky District[5][6]
The constituency was re-created for the 2016 election and retained only southern Tver and its suburbs, losing the rest of its former territory to new Zavolzhsky constituency. This seat instead gained eastern Tver Oblast from the dissolved Bezhetsk constituency.
