The 2023 People's Khural of Kalmykia election took place on 8–10 September 2023, on common election day. All 27 seats in the People's Khural were up for reelection.
Electoral system From 2008 until 2023 elections to the People's Khural of Kalmykia were held only using party-list proportional representation with 7%, and later 5% threshold. However Head of Kalmykia Batu Khasikov proposed adopting a parallel voting system in February 2023, which was approved by the Khural.Одномандатники в степи Under current election laws, the People's Khural 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 17 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.Закон Республики Калмыкия от 2 марта 2023 года N 271-VI-З "О выборах депутатов Народного Хурала (Парламента) Республики Калмыкия"
