The Central constituency (No.11[a]) is a Russian legislative constituency in Dagestan. The constituency covers southern Dagestan, stretching alongside Caspian Sea from Makhachkala to the border with Azerbaijan and covering areas populated by Kumyks, Lezgins and Dargins. The present day Northern constituency was created in 2015 from most parts of former Derbent constituency and small territory of former Makhachkala constituency.
The constituency has been represented since 2021 by United Russia deputy Murad Gadzhiev, three-term State Duma member and cognac manufacturer, who won the open seat, defeating one-term United Russia incumbent Abdulgamid Emirgamzayev in the primary.
Boundaries
2003–2007 Derbent constituency: Agulsky District, Akhtynsky District, Akushinsky District, Dagestanskiye Ogni, Dakhadayevsky District, Derbent, Derbentsky District, Dokuzparinsky District, Izerbash, Karabudakhkentsky District, Kayakentsky District, Kaytagsky District, Khivsky District, Kulinsky District, Kurakhsky District, Laksky District, Magaramkentsky District, Rutulsky District, Sergokalinsky District, Suleyman-Stalsky District, Tabasaransky District
The constituency was created during the 2003 redistricting as Dagestan gained a third State Duma seat. The constituency was based in southern Dagestan, covering Caspian Sea coast to the south of Kaspiysk, including Dagestanskiye Ogni, Derbent and Izerbash, as well as Dargin- and Lezgin-heavy mountainous south-western Dagestan.
2016–2026: Dagestanskiye Ogni, Derbent, Derbentsky District, Izberbash, Karabudakhkentsky District, Kaspiysk, Kayakentsky District, Kaytagsky District, Khivsky District, Magaramkentsky District, Makhachkala (Leninsky), Sergokalinsky District, Suleyman-Stalsky District, Tabasaransky District
The constituency was re-created for the 2016 election and received a new name "Central constituency". This seat retained almost its Caspian Sea coast, losing south-western Dagestan to Southern constituency. The constituency was pushed to the north, gaining Leninsky district of Makhachkala and Kaspiysk from the former Makhachkala constituency.
Since 2026 Derbent constituency: Agulsky District, Akhtynsky District, Akushinsky District, Dagestanskiye Ogni, Dakhadayevsky District, Derbent, Derbentsky District, Dokuzparinsky District, Izberbash, Karabudakhkentsky District, Kayakentsky District, Kaytagsky District, Khivsky District, Kulinsky District, Kurakhsky District, Laksky District, Magaramkentsky District, Rutulsky District, Sergokalinsky District, Suleyman-Stalsky District, Tabasaransky District[2]
The 2025 redistricting entirely re-created the 2003–2007 version of the constituency, including the old name of "Derbent constituency".
