2026 Tambov Oblast legislative election

The 2026 Tambov Oblast Duma election took place on 18–20 September 2026, on common election day, coinciding with the 2026 Russian legislative election. All 50 seats in the Oblast Duma were up for re-election.

United Russia slightly increased its overwhelming majority in the Oblast Duma, winning 65.1% of the vote and all 25 single-mandate constituencies. New People entered the Oblast Duma for the first time, while Rodina suffered major defeat, losing more than 10 percentage points and all three seats.

Electoral system Under current election laws, the Oblast Duma is elected for a term of five years, with parallel voting. 25 seats are elected by party-list proportional representation with a 5% electoral threshold, with the other half elected in 25 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.
