The 2024 People's Assembly of the Karachay-Cherkess Republic election took place on 6–8 September 2024, on common election day. All 50 seats in the People's Assembly were up for reelection.

The composition of the Parliament was completely unchanged with United Russia retaining its overwhelming majority. All the parties crossed the threshold with the most noticeable change being A Just Russia – For Truth doubling its seats, which was resulted by A Just Russia merging with Patriots of Russia party in 2021.

Electoral system

Under current election laws, the People's Assembly is elected for a term of five years by party-list proportional representation with a 5% electoral threshold. Seats are allocated using the Imperiali quota, modified to ensure that every party list, which passes the threshold, receives at least 1 mandate.^[1] Unlike most regional elections in Russia, party lists in Karachay-Cherkessia are not divided between territorial groups.
