The 2024 Kurgan Oblast gubernatorial election took place on 8 September 2024, on common election day. Incumbent Governor Vadim Shumkov was re-elected to a second term in office.

Background

Then-Deputy Governor of Tyumen Oblast Vadim Shumkov was appointed acting Governor of Kurgan Oblast in October 2018, replacing first-term Governor Aleksey Kokorin, who resigned at his own request. After his resignation Kokorin joined the board of directors of ARMZ Uranium Holding, a uranium mining division of Rosatom corporation.

Shumkov ran for a full term as an Independent and overwhelmingly won the September 2019 election with 80.86% of the vote, as his nearest challenger, Yakov Sidorov (CPRF), received just 9.70%. During the campaign analysts in May 2019 named Shumkov "tough and uncompromising anti-crisis manager" and "the toughest acting governor running that cycle".

In May 2024 during a meeting with President Vladimir Putin Governor Shumkov announced his intention to run for a second term and received Putin's endorsement.
