The 2025 Russian elections were held in Russia, in large part, on 14 September 2025, with several regions. There were 21 gubernatorial elections (20 direct and one indirectly elected), 11 regional parliamentary elections, and many elections on the municipal level.
In several regions, REV — Remote Electronic Voting was used via the federal platform vybory.gov.ru. To take part, voters were required to apply in advance through the Gosuslugi portal, within the official application window; online voting ran on the same dates, 12–14 September 2025. Paper voting remained available in parallel, and participation in REV was voluntary and limited to regions connected to the system
Federal elections State Duma by-elections
Nine State Duma constituencies that became vacant in late 2024 – early 2025 were initially scheduled to hold by-elections on September 14, 2025, however, in February 2025 a group of senators and deputies led by Andrey Klishas introduced a bill banning all by-elections to federal, regional and municipal legislatures during two years prior to the regular election (current law prevents holding by-elections only during the last year of the convocation). On May 20, 2025, State Duma adopted amendments to the electoral law, including the banning of by-elections two years prior to the regular election by a 327–54 vote. On May 21 Federation Council approved the amendments and on May 23 President Vladimir Putin signed the bill into law. Following the bill passage all 2025 State Duma by-elections were cancelled and the seats would remain vacant until 2026 Russian legislative election.
