The 2025 Kostroma Oblast Duma election will take place on 12–14 September 2025, on common election day, coinciding with 2025 Kostroma Oblast gubernatorial election. All 35 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. 10 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]
