The State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation the seventh convocation (Russian: Государственная Дума Федерального Собрания Российской Федерации седьмого созыва) is the current convocation of the lower house of Russian parliament.
The composition of the 7th State Duma was based on the results of the 2016 parliamentary election. Elections were held using a mixed system: 225 deputies were elected on party lists and 225 — in single-member constituencies. Of the 14 parties participating in the elections, only four were able to overcome the required 5% electoral threshold. Two parties and one independent candidate were able to enter the State Duma via single-mandate constituencies.
Until 2020 the chamber will meet in the State Duma building at 1 Okhotny Ryad Street, Moscow. In 2020, it is planned that the State Duma (as well as the Federation Council) will move to a new Parliamentary Centre.[1] However, due to problems with financing, the Parliamentary Centre may not be ready in 2020 so the transfer may be postponed to a later date.[2]
