The 2025 Belgorod Oblast Duma election will take place on 12–14 September 2025, on common election day. All 50 seats in the Oblast Duma are up for re-election.
Electoral system
Under current election laws, the Oblast Duma is elected for a term of five years, with parallel voting. 25 seats are elected by party-list proportional representation with a 5% electoral threshold, with the other half elected in 25 single-member constituencies by first-past-the-post voting. Seats in the proportional part are allocated using the Imperiali quota, modified to ensure that every party list, which passes the threshold, receives at least one mandate.[1]
