The 2024 Lipetsk Oblast gubernatorial election took place on 6–8 September 2024, on common election day. Incumbent Governor Igor Artamonov was re-elected to a second term in office.

## Background

[edit]

Then-Sberbank vice president Igor Artamonov was appointed acting Governor of Lipetsk Oblast in October 2018, replacing five-term Governor Oleg Korolyov, who resigned at his own request.[1] Korolyov led Lipetsk Oblast since 1998 and at the time of his resignation was the third-longest serving governor in Russia (behind Yevgeny Savchenko in Belgorod Oblast and Anatoly Artamonov in Kaluga Oblast). In November 2018 Artamonov appointed his predecessor, Oleg Korolyov, to the Federation Council after incumbent senator Iraida Tikhonova stepped down,[2] however, Senator Yury Volkov, a Rules committee member, questioned the constitutionality of such appointment.[3]

Artamonov, officially an Independent, was nominated for a full term by United Russia in the 2019 gubernatorial elections. Igor Artamonov won the September 2019 election with 67.28% of the vote, as his nearest challenger, Sergey Tokarev (CPRF), received 20.03%,[4] although Artamonov's more notable challengers, Lipetsk Oblast Council of Deputies member Oleg Khomutinnikov (PARNAS) and State Duma member Aleksandr Sherin (LDPR), failed to qualify.[5] In March 2020 Governor Artamonov officially joined United Russia party.[6]

## Candidates
