The 2018 Pskov Oblast gubernatorial election was held on 9 September 2018, on common election day. To be elected, a candidate must get more than 50% of votes. Governor Mikhail Vedernikov secured a new term after winning 70.68 percent of the vote.[1] If no one had achieved 50%, a runoff would've been held 14 days later. Only the two most successful candidates from the first round participate in the second round. The Governor will be elected for five years.
