The 2022 Udmurt Republic head election took place on 9–11 September 2022, on common election day, coinciding with elections to the State Council of Udmurtia. Incumbent Head Aleksandr Brechalov was re-elected to a second term.

Background

In April 2017 Head of Udmurtia Aleksandr Solovyov was arrested for taking bribes. He was removed from office and replaced with Civic Chamber Secretary Alexander Brechalov. Brechalov won the subsequent head election with 78.16% of the vote.

In the 2021 Russian legislative election United Russia received only 35.63% in Udmurtia, which could prompt a potentially competitive head election in 2022. Despite United Russia's poor showing in the parliamentary elections, in January 2022 Vedomosti reported that Aleksandr Brechalov most likely would retain his position. In May 2022 President Vladimir Putin officially endorsed Brechalov for reelection.

Due to the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and subsequent economic sanctions the cancellation and postponement of direct gubernatorial elections was proposed. The measure was even supported by A Just Russia leader Sergey Mironov. Eventually, the postponement never occurred, as on 3 June State Council of the Udmurt Republic called head election for 11 September 2022.
