The Northern constituency (No.10[a]) is a Russian legislative constituency in Dagestan. The constituency covers northern Dagestan, mostly populated by Kumyks, Nogais and Russians. The present day Northern constituency was created in 2015 from most parts of former Makhachkala constituency and small territory of former Buynaksk constituency.

The constituency has been represented since 2021 by United Russia deputy Abdulkhakim Gadzhiyev, Police Major General and Rosgvardiya officer, who won the open seat, succeeding two-term United Russia incumbent Umakhan Umakhanov.

Boundaries

[edit]

1993–2003 Makhachkala constituency: Babayurtovsky District, Karabudakhkentsky District, Kaspiysk, Kazbekovsky District, Khasavyurt, Khasavyurtovsky District, Kizilyurt, Kizilyurtovsky District, Kizlyar, Kizlyarsky District, Kumtorkalinsky District, Makhachkala, Nogaysky District, Novolaksky District, Tarumovsky District, Yuzhno-Sukhokumsk[2][3]
The constituency covered northern half of Dagestan, including the republican capital of Makhachkala and towns of Kaspiysk, Khasavyurt, Kizilyurt, Kizlyar and Yuzhno-Sukhokumsk.

2003–2007 Makhachkala constituency: Babayurtovsky District, Kaspiysk, Kizilyurt, Kizilyurtovsky District, Kizlyar, Kizlyarsky District, Makhachkala, Nogaysky District, Tarumovsky District, Yuzhno-Sukhokumsk[4]
The constituency was significantly altered after the 2003 redistricting, retaining Northern Dagestan, Makhachkala, Kizilyurt and small stretches to connect the three areas. The constituency lost Khasavyurt, Kazbekovsky, Khasavyurtovsky, Kumtorkalinsky and Novolaksky districts to Buynaksk constituency, and Karabudakhkentsky District to new Derbent constituency.

2016–2026: Babayurtovsky District, Khasavyurtovsky District, Kizilyurt, Kizilyurtovsky District, Kizlyar, Kizlyarsky District, Kumtorkalinsky District, Makhachkala (Kirovsky, Sovetsky), Nogaysky District, Tarumovsky District, Yuzhno-Sukhokumsk[5]
The constituency was re-created for the 2016 election and received a new name "Northern constituency". This seat retained almost all of its former territory, losing only Kaspiysk and Leninsky city district of Makhachkala to Central constituency. The constituency gained Khasavyurtovsky and Kumtorkalinsky from the former Buynaksk constituency.

Since 2026 Makhachkala constituency: Babayurtovsky District, Kaspiysk, Kizilyurt, Kizilyurtovsky District, Kizlyar, Kizlyarsky District, Kumtorkalinsky District, Makhachkala, Nogaysky District, Tarumovsky District, Yuzhno-Sukhokumsk[6]
After the 2025 redistricting the constituency took its old name "Makhachkala constituency" and regained Leninsky district of Makhachkala and Kaspiysk from the former Central constituency. The constituency shedded Khasavyurtovsky District to neighbouring Buynaksk constituency.
