Following a recommendation from the Kursk Oblast Election Commission, elections have been postponed in Lgov, as well as in the Belovsky, Bolshesoldatsky, Glushkovsky, Korenevsky, Sudzhansky, and Khomutovsky districts. These areas have declared evacuations due to the Ukrainian army's incursion.

The Central Election Commission has not yet announced a new date for the elections, stating that preparations will resume only when the safety of voters can be fully guaranteed.

This decision does not affect the gubernatorial election, which has been rescheduled to an earlier date, with officials citing the need to "ensure safety and protect the lives and health of Russian citizens."
