Yenisei electoral district (Russian Constituent Assembly election, 1917)

The Yenisei electoral district (Енисейский избирательный округ) was a constituency created for the 1917 Russian Constituent Assembly election. The electoral district covered the Yenisei Governorate. Moreover, the Russian citizens living in the Uryankhay Kray formed part of the constituency.

One submitted peasants' candidate list was rejected by the electoral authorities. The SRs and Menshevik lists formed an electoral bloc, whilst the Bolsheviks and the leftist dissident SR list formed a second electoral bloc.

The election took place in state of chaos in the Yenisei district, as soldiers were demobilized and garrisons disbanded. The Bolsheviks claimed the area as the centre of their organization in Siberia, with the party dominating soviets in Krasnoyarsk, Achinsk and Kansk, but lacked influence outside these towns.
