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

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).[1] 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.[2]
