According to article 97 of the Federal Law "On elections of deputies of the State Duma", by-elections are appointed on the second Sunday of September (single voting day), but not less than 85 days before the day of voting. This means that if a vacant seat occurs before a single voting day, but less than 85 days before it, the election will be scheduled for next year. Also, by-elections are not appointed and are not held if, as a result of these elections, a Deputy can not be elected for a term of more than one year before the end of the constitutional term for which the State Duma was elected.[1]
The nearest by-election will be held in September 2024, in at least three constituencies.
