The Kursk electoral district (Russian: Курский избирательный округ) was a constituency created for the 1917 Russian Constituent Assembly election. The electoral district covered the Kursk Governorate.[3]
Kursk was an agrarian, Black Earth province with no industries.

The second largest party in the Kursk garrison were the SRs (2,169 votes, 30.5%).
