Gubernatorial indirect elections

Initially direct elections of Head of the Republic of North Ossetia–Alania were scheduled for September 2015, however, in November 2013 Parliament of the Republic of North Ossetia–Alania amended the electoral code abolishing direct head elections.[51] According to the new law, political parties, represented in the republican Parliament or State Duma, propose their candidates to the President of Russia, the President then selects three candidates among the proposed and sends them to the Parliament of North Ossetia. The Parliament elects one of the nominated candidate as head of the republic by a simple majority.

Direct gubernatorial elections in 2015 were also slated to be held in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, which are simultaneously administrative subordinate to Tyumen Oblast, though, a November 2014 federal law permitted only indirect gubernatorial elections in Russian regions that constitute another federal subject. Under the new procedure Governor of Tyumen Oblast proposes five candidates for each autonomous okrug to the President of Russia, who selects three among them and sends for election by okra legislative assemblies.
