The election for the 6th convocation of the Moscow City Duma took place on 14 September 2014, which coincided with the United Voting Day. The elections were conducted using the first-past-the-post voting system, and a total of 45 deputies were elected in 45 single-member constituencies (previously, the Duma had 35 deputies) from a pool of 258 candidates.[1] The term for the new Duma was set at five years. The voting process occurred across more than 3,500 polling stations throughout the city. The final results of the election were announced on September 16, 2014.[2]
Out of the elected deputies, 17 individuals were re-elected from the previous City Duma. Following the tabulation of 100% of the ballots, the leading vote-getters included 28 candidates nominated by the United Russia party, 5 candidates from the Communist Party, 1 candidate from the Liberal Democratic Party, 1 candidate from Rodina, and 10 self-nominees who were supported by United Russia.
The 2014 elections to the Moscow City Duma introduced several notable changes compared to previous elections:
In September 2013, Moscow's territorial election commissions began receiving information suggesting the possibility of postponing the elections from September to March 2014. The plan involved the dissolution of the Moscow State Duma of the 5th convocation in December 2013, although this did not ultimately occur.
