The 2023 Ivanovo Oblast gubernatorial election took place on 8–10 September 2023, on common election day, coinciding with the Ivanovo Oblast Duma election. Incumbent Governor Stanislav Voskresensky was re-elected to a second term in office.

Background

Stanislav Voskresensky, then–Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia, was appointed acting Governor of Ivanovo Oblast in October 2017, replacing previous first-term incumbent Pavel Konkov, who resigned at his own request.[1] Voskresensky was nominated for the upcoming 2018 gubernatorial election by United Russia, despite not being a member of the party. He won the election with 65.72% of the vote.[2] Despite Voskresensky's convincing victory, United Russia scored only 34.14% in the concurring Ivanovo Oblast Duma election and overall won a narrow 2–seat majority,[3] which reaffirmed the general competitiveness of regional politics.
