Constituencies of Russia

Legislative constituencies are used in Russia to elect half of the seats (225) in the State Duma. Each Federal Subject gets a certain amount of constituencies, proportional to their population, with every Federal Subject getting at least one. Every constituency is a single-mandate one, meaning each constituency sends one representative (also known as a Deputy) to the State Duma.

Constituencies are created and their boundaries drawn by the Central Election Commission. According to Federal Law, the layout of constituencies are to be used for 10 years. Using these current constituencies, elections were held to the State Duma in 2016 and 2021.

Gerrymandering is the process of drawing the boundaries of electoral districts to favor a certain political force.^[2] In Russia, this comes through the "Lepestkovy" (Russian: лепестковый) drawing of constituencies.^[3] These "Lepestkovy" drawing usually involves major cities and/or regional capitals being split up between multiple constituencies. This is done to split up urban voters (who tend to be more liberal) and pair them up with a bigger rural population. This is present in many of Russia's constituencies.

Constituencies are created and their boundaries drawn by the Central Election Commission. According to Federal Law, the layout of constituencies are to be used for 10 years.

The 2015-2025 layout was created on the basis that there are 109,902,583 voters in all of Russia.

The number of constituencies a Federal Subject is entitled to is determined using the Hare Quota. By dividing the total number of voters in Russia (109,902,583) by 225 (the total amount of Deputies, elected through single-mandate constituencies), you get 488,455.924, the desired average number of voters in a constituency, also known as the "Government Norm" (GN). The next step is to divide the number of voters in a Federal Subject by the GN, and then rounding down to the lowest whole number. If the remainder is sizeable, then the Federal Subject receives an additional constituency. Table with examples below.

Formula for determining the number of constituencies a Federal Subject receives.

Federal Subject	Number of voters in the Federal Subject	Number of voters in a Federal Subject ÷ GN	Provisional number of constituencies	Remainder	Additional number of constituencies	Final number of constituencies
Karelia	540,436	1.106	1	0.106	0	1
Tomsk Oblast	767,847	1.572	1	0.572	1	2
Dagestan	1,626,829	3.331	3	0.331	0	3

Chelyabinsk Oblast	2,715,204	5.559	5	0.559	0	5
Moscow	7,318,019	14.982	14	0.982	1	15
