2026 Russian elections

Uncommon card · No. 176402

The 2026 Russian elections were held in Russia, in large part, on Sunday, 20 September 2026 (single election day), with several regions allowing voting on 18 and 19 September. 11 gubernatorial elections (eight direct and three indirectly elected), 39 regional parliamentary elections, and many elections on the municipal level took place. The single election day was moved to the third Sunday of September (20 September), instead of the usual second Sunday (13 September), to combine regional and municipal elections with the State Duma election. Remote electronic voting (REV) was expected to be used in several regions, however, its expansion was allegedly curbed by ongoing internet restrictions with Presidential Administration senior official Aleksandr Kharichev claiming REV would be used only in regions where it had previously been implemented. In June 2026 Central Election Commission announced that 33 regions were approved to use REV in the 2026 elections, covering 48.4 million voters.
