context_page_description: By-elections to the 7th Russian State Duma are held to fill vacancies in the State Duma between the 2016 election and the 2021 election.
  According to article 97 of the Federal Law "On elections of deputies of the State Duma", by-elections are appointed on the second Sunday of September, but not less than 85 days before the day of voting. This means that if a vacant seat occurs before a single voting day, but less than 85 days before it, the election will be scheduled for next year. Also, by-elections are not appointed and are not held if, as a result of these elections, a Deputy cannot be elected for a term of more than one year before the end of the constitutional term for which the State Duma was elected.
  The first by-elections were held on 10 September 2017, in two constituencies. Four by-elections are planned for 2020.
