The 2023 People's Khural of the Republic of Buryatia election took place on 10 September 2023, on common election day. All 66 seats in the People's Khural were up for reelection.

Electoral system

Under current election laws, the People's Khural is elected for a term of five years, with parallel voting. 33 seats are elected by party-list proportional representation with a 5% electoral threshold, with the other half elected in 33 single-member constituencies by first-past-the-post voting. Seats in the proportional part are allocated using the Imperiali quota, modified to ensure that every party list, which passes the threshold, receives at least one mandate. ^[1]
