The Saratov electoral district (Russian: Саратовский избирательный округ) was a constituency created for the 1917 Russian Constituent Assembly election.
The electoral district covered the Saratov Governorate.[3] Saratov had been one of the early strongholds of the SRs [4] Kerensky was one of the SR candidates, but many voters scratched his name from the list (and thus made their votes invalid). was politically turbulent, also during the election.[5] In Saratov Bolshevik campaigners were frequently attacked by rich farmers.[6] Whilst the SR won in the largely agrarian district, the Bolsheviks had a strong showing with strong support from soldiers and from the industrial city of Tsaritsyn.[7] Khvalynsk uezd was an Old Believer stronghold, with presence of Khlysty and Skoptsky sects.[8]
The German socialists didn't field a list in Saratov, whilst the German Central Committee contested on the Volga German List 7.[9]
