2026 Kursk Oblast legislative election

The 2026 Kursk Oblast Duma election took place on 18–20 September 2026, on common election day, coinciding with the 2026 Russian legislative election. All 45 seats in the Oblast Duma were up for re-election.

United Russia increased its overwhelming majority in the Oblast Duma, winning 55.8% of the vote and all 24 single-mandate constituencies. Communist Party of the Russian Federation finished second but lost more than half of its faction retaining three deputies. New People increased its vote share, gaining a second seat. A Just Russia barely crossed a 5% threshold, holding a single seat, while Russian Party of Pensioners for Social Justice lost its faction in the Oblast Duma.

Electoral system Under current election laws, the Oblast Duma is elected for a term of five years, with parallel voting. 21 seats are elected by party-list proportional representation with a 5% electoral threshold (down from 22 seats in 2021), with the other part elected in 24 single-member constituencies by first-past-the-post voting (up from 23 seats in 2021). 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.
