The 2024 Vologda Oblast gubernatorial election took place on 6–8 September 2024, on common election day. Acting Governor Georgy Filimonov was elected for a full term in office.

Background

[edit]

Then-Cherepovets mayor Oleg Kuvshinnikov was appointed acting Governor of Vologda Oblast and was later elected by the Legislative Assembly of Vologda Oblast in December 2011, replacing four-term incumbent Governor Vyacheslav Pozgalyov.[1] Kuvshinnikov resigned early in May 2014 and ran in the special gubernatorial election in September 2014 winning it with 62.98% of the vote.[2] Kuvshinnikov ran for a third term in 2019 and won with 60.79% of the vote.[3]

On 31 October 2023 Oleg Kuvshinnikov unexpectedly announced his resignation nearly a year ahead of the gubernatorial election. Deputy Chairman of the Moscow Oblast Government Georgy Filimonov was appointed acting Governor of Vologda Oblast the same day.[4] In November 2023 Filimonov appointed his predecessor, Oleg Kuvshinnikov, to the Federation Council after incumbent Senator Olga Danilova, whom Kuvshinnikov himself appointed just 44 days ago, stepped down.[5]

In January 2024 Legislative Assembly of Vologda Oblast changed the electoral law, allowing gubernatorial candidates run as a self-nominated.[6] Later acting Governor Filimonov announced that he was not planning to join any political party and would run in the upcoming gubernatorial election as an Independent.[7] However, on May 24, 2024 Senator Andrey Turchak, the secretary general of United Russia, visited Vologda and personally handed over a party card to Governor Filimonov, who joined the party and announced his intention to run under its ticket.[8]
