The Tomsk electoral district (Russian: Томский избирательный округ) was a constituency created for the 1917 Russian Constituent Assembly election. The electoral district covered the Tomsk Governorate.[3]
3 out of 9 submitted candidate lists were rejected by the electoral authorities, including a moderate Turkic list.[4] [5] The Popular Socialist and Cooperative lists had an electoral pact.
The SR list won a landslide victory, drawing the support from the rural areas. In the Novonikolayevsk uyezd the SRs obtained 95.3% of the votes cast, followed by Kainsk uyezd (91%), Kuznetsk uyezd (90.8%), Mariinsk uyezd (88.6%), Tomsk uyezd (73.6%) and Togur uyezd (64.6%).[6] The Bolsheviks fared better in industrial centers; obtaining some 36% of the vote at the Kemerovo mine and chemical plant, some 32% of the votes were cast at the Anzhersky mines and 25.8% of the votes at the Sudzhensk mines (both in present-day Anzhero-Sudzhensk).[7]
