The 2024 Moscow City Duma election will take place on 8 September 2024, on common election day. All 45 seats in the City Duma will be up for reelection.
The first change in the Duma composition occurred in August 2020, when Communist Vice Speaker Nikolay Gubenko from District 37 died after struggling with illness.[4] In October 2020 another Communist member, Oleg Sheremetyev of District 19, left the chamber as he was expelled after being found guilty of fraud.[5] Both vacant seats were filled in the 2021 by-elections: pediatrician and municipal deputy Yelena Kats flipped District 19 for United Russia, and former State Duma member Vladimir Ryzhkov – District 37 for Yabloko.[6] Ryzhkov, however, left Russia in summer 2022 and officially resigned from the Duma in late January 2024, leaving his seat vacant until the next convocation.[7]
In March 2021 deputies Yelena Shuvalova (District 44) and Dmitry Loktev (District 2) were expelled from the CPRF faction in the City Duma for "systematically discrediting the faction".[8] Shuvalova was previously expelled from the party in June 2020 for regular insubordination, including failure to pay party fees, challenging faction leader Nikolay Zubrilin, and collaboration with liberal opposition,[9] while Loktev was removed in February 2021 for voting against city budget.[10] A third Communist deputy, Yevgeny Stupin (District 20), was expelled from the party in March 2023, a month later he was sacked from the faction and later left Russia.[11] Three Moscow City Duma members were also declared foreign agents by the Ministry of Justice: Darya Besedina (Yabloko) in January 2023,[12] Yevgeny Stupin (CPRF)[13] and Mikhail Timonov (A Just Russia) in June 2023.[14] On May 8, 2024 during the second to last 7th Moscow City Duma session Stupin was expelled for truancy after leaving Russia in September 2023 and failing to attend any Duma session since.[15] On May 15, 2024 PresidentVladimir Putin signed a law, which prohibits foreign agents to run in any elections in Russia until the status of foreign agents is revoked.[16] For current Moscow City Duma deputies it only applied to Timonov, who had not publicly announced his intentions, as Besedina had already decided to retire, while Stupin was expelled.
With the last Moscow redistricting occurring in 2014, a new Moscow City Duma map should be enacted for the 2024 election. In late December 2023 a new district map was proposed and later enacted by the Moscow City Duma.[17] The new map was heavily criticised as gerrymandered by the deputies themselves, especially considering that under the enacted map districts of Sergey Mitrokhin, Mikhail Timonov, Yekaterina Yengalycheva and Lyubov Nikitina were virtually eliminated.[18]
Electoral system
Under current election laws, the City Duma is elected for a term of five years by first-past-the-post voting in 45 constituencies.[19] Currently Moscow is the only federal subject of Russia using full majoritarian system to elect members of the regional legislature.
Candidates
45 single-mandate constituencies were formed in Moscow. To register candidates in single-mandate constituencies need to collect 3% of signatures of registered voters in the constituency.[19]
The following parties were relieved from the necessity to collect signatures:[20]
Irina Kopkina (Yabloko), former Member of Strogino District Council of Deputies (2017–2022), 2014 runner-up for this seat, 2019 candidate for this seat[34]
Stepan Orlov (United Russia), Deputy Chairman of the Moscow City Duma (2019–present), incumbent Member of the Duma for the 27th district (1997–present), chairman of United Russia faction (2017–present)[92]
