The 2024 Parliament of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic election will take place on 8 September 2024, on common election day. All 70 seats in the Parliament will be up for reelection.

Electoral system

Under current election laws, the Parliament is elected for a term of five years by party-list proportional representation with a 5% electoral threshold. Seats are allocated using the Imperiali quota, modified to ensure that every party list, which passes the threshold, receives at least 1 mandate.[1] Unlike most regional elections in Russia, party lists in Kabardino-Balkaria are not divided between territorial groups.

Candidates

To register regional lists of candidates, parties need to collect 0.5% of signatures of all registered voters in Kabardino-Balkaria.

The following parties were relieved from the necessity to collect signatures:[2]
