The 2026 Parliament of the Chechen Republic election took place on 18–20 September 2026, on common election day, coinciding with the 2026 Chechen head election and 2026 Russian legislative election. All 41 seats in the Parliament were up for re-election.
United Russia retained its overwhelming majority in the Parliament, winning 84.2% of the vote, but lost two seats. Liberal Democratic Party of Russia narrowly entered the Parliament for the first time after party leader Leonid Slutsky established close ties to Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov.
Electoral system
[edit]Under current election laws, 41 seats in the Parliament are elected for a term of five years by party-list proportional representation with a 5% electoral threshold. Seats are allocated using the Hare quota,[1] Chechnya and Ingushetia are the only regions in Russia that are presently using the Hare quota in regional legislative elections. Unlike most regional elections in Russia, party lists in Chechnya are not divided between territorial groups.
