The Voronezh constituency (No.87[a]) is a Russian legislative constituency in Voronezh Oblast. The constituency covers eastern half of Voronezh on the left bank of Voronezh river, the city surroundings and rural areas to the south up to Liski.
The constituency has been represented since 2016 by United Russia deputy Arkady Ponomaryov, a three-term State Duma member, dairy farmer and businessman.
Boundaries
1993–2007 Levoberezhny constituency: Novousmansky District, Verkhnekhavsky District, Voronezh (Leninsky, Levoberezhny, Tsentralny, Zheleznodorozhny)[2][3][4]
The constituency covered eastern half of Voronezh on the left bank of Voronezh river and its suburbs to the east and north-east.
2016–2026: Kashirsky District, Liskinsky District, Novousmansky District, Voronezh (Levoberezhny, Tsentralny, Zheleznodorozhny)[5]
The constituency was re-created for the 2016 election under the name "Voronezh constituency". This seat retained only most of its share of Voronezh and Novousmansky District, losing Leninsky city district of Voronezh to Pravoberezhny constituency and Verkhnekhavsky District – to Anna constituency. The constituency instead was pushed to the south-east, gaining Kashirsky District from Anna constituency and Liskinsky District from Pavlovsk constituency.
Since 2026: Kamensky District, Khokholsky, Nizhnedevitsky District, Novovoronezh, Olkhovatsky District, Ostrogozhsky District, Podgorensky District, Repyovsky District, Semiluksky District, Voronezh (Kominternovsky, Sovetsky)[6]
After the 2025 redistricting Voronezh Oblast lost one of its four constituencies, so all remaining seats saw major changes. The constituency did not retain any of its territory and was reconfigured to western Voronezh Oblast, gaining almost all of the dissolved Pravoberezhny constituency (except Leninsky city district of Voronezh), Kominternovsky city district of Voronezh from Anna constituency, Kamensky, Olkhovatsky and Podgorensky districts from Pavlovsk constituency. Former Voronezh constituency was partitioned between Anna (northern half) and Pavlovsk (southern half) constituencies.
