The 2025 Kursk Oblast gubernatorial election will take place on 14 September 2025, on common election day. Acting Governor of Kursk Oblast Alexander Khinshtein is eligible to run for a full term in office.

Background

First Deputy Governor of Kursk Oblast Aleksey Smirnov became acting Governor of Kursk Oblast in May 2024 after then-governor Roman Starovoyt was nominated as Minister of Transport in Mikhail Mishustin's Second Cabinet. Smirnov was appointed acting Governor of Kursk Oblast by President of Russia Vladimir Putin a day later. Smirnov ran for a full term and won the election with 65.28% of the vote.

On December 6, 2024, Smirnov announced his resignation as Governor of Kursk Oblast just 80 days after his inauguration and 200 days since his appointment as acting governor. The same day President Putin appointed State Duma member Alexander Khinshtein, chairman of the Duma Committee on Informational Policy, Technologies and Communications, as acting Governor of Kursk Oblast. Lack of communication and subsequent protests from local residents suffering from the ongoing Ukrainian incursion were named the main reason for Smirnov's sudden dismissal. The appointment of Khinshtein, a longtime parliamentarian and former investigative journalist, was seen to boost the public appearance of governor's office and to resolve issues around communication with local residents.
