2018 Khakas head election

The 2018 Khakassia head election took place on 9 September 2018 in the Russian republic of Khakassia, after which opposition candidate Valentin Konovalov emerged victorious, although failing to reach the 50% threshold. The runoff was held on 11 November, which he also won.

For the first time in Russia since 1997, other candidates did not participate in the runoff, leading to a rarely used “in favour” and “against” choice.
