The constituency was re-created for the 2016 election under the name "Asbest constituency" and retained only south-eastern corner of Sverdlovsk Oblast, losing Nizhnyaya Salda, Verkhnyaya Salda, Tavda and Taborinsky District districts to Serov constituency, Alapayevsky District, Rezh and Artyomovsky – to Beryozovsky constituency, and Alapayevsk – to Nizhny Tagil constituency. This seat instead gained Beloyarsky District, Sukhoy Log and Asbest from Kamensk-Uralsky constituency as well as Oktyabrsky City District of Yekaterinburg from Ordzhonikidzevsky constituency.
