Boundaries

1993–2007: Barnaul^[2][3][4]
The constituency covered the entirety of Barnaul, Altai Krai capital and largest city.

2016–2026: Altaysky District, Barnaul (Tsentralny, Zheleznodorozhny), Belokurikha, Biysky District, Bystroistoksky District, Charyshsky District, Kalmansky District, Krasnogorsky District, Krasnoshchyokovsky District, Kuryinsky District, Loktevsky District, Petropavlovsky District, Smolensky District, Sovetsky District, Soloneshensky District, Soltonsky District, Topchikhinsky District, Tretyakovsky District, Ust-Kalmansky District, Ust-Pristansky District, Zmeinogorsky District^[5]
The constituency was re-created for the 2016 election. This seat retained only Tsentralny and Zheleznodorozhny city districts of Barnaul, losing the rest of the city to all three other Altai Krai constituencies. The constituency, instead, was pushed to rural south, gaining half of former Aleysk constituency, as well as some districts from former Biysk and Slavgorod constituencies.

Since 2026: Aleysk, Aleysky District, Altaysky District, Barnaul (Tsentralny, Zheleznodorozhny), Belokurikha, Bystroistoksky District, Charyshsky District, Kalmansky District, Krasnoshchyokovsky District, Kuryinsky District, Loktevsky District, Novichikhinsky District, Petropavlovsky District, Pospelikhinsky District, Rubtsovsk, Rubtsovsky District, Shipunovsky District, Smolensky District, Soloneshensky District, Sovetsky District, Topchikhinsky District, Tretyakovsky District, Ust-Kalmansky District, Ust-Pristansky District, Yegoryevsky District, Zmeinogorsky District^[6]
After the 2025 redistricting Altai Krai lost one of its four constituencies, so all remaining seats saw major changes. The constituency gained Aleysk and Rubtsovsk – the urban centres of the dissolved Rubtsovsk constituency, as well as rural areas between the towns. This seat shedded Biysky, Krasnogorsky and Soltansky districts in south-eastern Altai Krai to Biysk constituency.
