The 2023 Ivanovo Oblast gubernatorial election took place on 8–10 September 2023, on common election day, coinciding with the Ivanovo Oblast Duma election. Incumbent Governor Stanislav Voskresensky was re-elected to a second term in office.

Background

He won the election with 65.72% of the vote.[2] Despite Voskresensky's convincing victory, United Russia scored only 34.14% in the concurring Ivanovo Oblast Duma election and overall won a narrow 2–seat majority,[3] which reaffirmed the general competitiveness of regional politics.
