The 2024 Stavropol Krai gubernatorial election will take place on 8 September 2024, on common election day. Incumbent Governor Vladimir Vladimirov is running to a third term in office.

Background

Then-First Deputy Governor of Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug Vladimir Vladimirov was appointed acting Governor of Stavropol Krai in September 2013, replacing Valery Zerenkov, who resigned just a little over a year in office. ^[1] Vladimirov easily won the election for a full term in September 2014 against three opponents with 84.22% of the vote. ^[2] Vladimirov ran for a second full term in 2019 and won again with 79.65%. ^[3]

Initially the Governor of Stavropol was limited for just two consecutive terms so Vladimirov would have been term-limited in 2024. However, in December 2021 "On Common Principles of Organisation of Public Authority in the Subjects of the Russian Federation" law was enacted, which lifted term limits for Russian governors. ^[4] Stavropol Krai followed suit and lifted the restrictions, which allowed Vladimirov to seek another term in 2024.
