The Vyatka electoral district (Russian: Вятский избирательный округ) was a constituency created for the 1917 Russian Constituent Assembly election.

The electoral district covered the Vyatka Governorate.[3] 8 out of 20 submitted candidate lists were disqualified.[4] Cheremis ran on a joint list with the Popular Socialists.[5]

Results

[edit]

The account of American historian Oliver Henry Radkey (displayed in the table below) only includes full result for three lists (Bolsheviks, Mensheviks, Orthodox), albeit the number of votes for the Orthodox list has been rounded off. The real vote of the other nine lists, according to Radkey, would have been more than double what is accounted for.[6]
