# People's Khural of the Republic of Buryatia

The People's Khural of the Republic of Buryatia (Russian: Народный хурал Республики Бурятия, romanized: Narodny khural Respubliki Buryatiya; Buryat: Буряад Уласай Арадай Хурал, romanized: Buryaad Ulasay Araday Khural,) is the regional parliament of Buryatia, a federal subject of Russia. Its 66 deputies are popularly elected every five years. Half of the deputies are elected through a proportional system, and the other half are elected in single-member constituencies with majorities. Independent deputies are self-nominated.

On October 17, 2019, at a meeting of the Electoral Commission of Buryatia, a decision was made to include Naydan Chimbeyev as a deputy to replace the single-constituency deputy Munko Buyantuyev after he was convicted of smuggling construction materials into China. Buyantuyev lost his parliamentary powers and freed up a place in the Khural.
