The 2018 Moscow Oblast gubernatorial election was held on 9 September 2018. To be elected outright, a candidate needed more than 50% of votes; if no-one achieved 50%, a runoff between the top two candidates would have been held 14 days later. Andrey Vorobyov, the incumbent governor, took 62% of the vote, and was thus re-elected for a new term.[1]
