The 2024 Parliament of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic election took place on 8 September 2024, on common election day. All 70 seats in the Parliament were up for reelection.

The composition of the Parliament was completely unchanged with United Russia retaining its overwhelming majority. All the parties crossing the threshold saw little to no change in the percentage of votes, compared to their 2019 results.

Electoral system

Under current election laws, the Parliament is elected for a term of five years by party-list proportional representation with a 5% electoral threshold. Seats are allocated using the Imperiali quota, modified to ensure that every party list, which passes the threshold, receives at least 1 mandate.[1] Unlike most regional elections in Russia, party lists in Kabardino-Balkaria are not divided between territorial groups.

Candidates

To register regional lists of candidates, parties need to collect 0.5% of signatures of all registered voters in Kabardino-Balkaria.

The following parties were relieved from the necessity to collect signatures:[2]
