The 2025 Belgorod Oblast Duma election took place on 12–14 September 2025, on common election day. All 50 seats in the Oblast Duma were up for re-election.

United Russia increased its already overwhelming majority in the Oblast Duma, winning 73% of the vote and all 25 single-mandate constituencies. Liberal Democratic Party of Russia slightly increased its vote share and doubled its faction (from one to two). Communist Party of the Russian Federation suffered heavy losses and lost two deputies, while Russian Party of Pensioners for Social Justice failed to cross the threshold and lost its faction.

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.[1]
