1997 June

After Vladimir Utkin was appointed Chairman of the Government of Chelyabinsk Oblast in February 1997 he had to give up his seat in the State Duma. A by-election was scheduled for 29 June 1997 with the concurrent by-election in the Kyshtym constituency. The by-election in Sovetsky constituency was won by Valery Gartung, however, the results were annulled due to low turnout (21.80%) and another election was scheduled for 14 December 1997.[9]
