Local elections were held in the Soviet Union in 1925.[1] They were held as a result of low turnout in the 1924 elections causing the results in 40% of rural districts to be invalid, as a 50% turnout was required.[2]

According to Soviet law, multiple individuals, out of the eligible adult voting population were disenfranchised for various reasons.
