The 2024 Russian presidential election will be the 17th presidential election in Russia. It will be held on March 17, 2024, to elect the president of the Russian Federation.

The incumbent president, Vladimir Putin, is eligible to run for a fifth term after a constitutional amendment passed in 2020 extended the presidential term from four to six years. Putin has not yet announced whether he will run, but he is widely expected to do so.

Other potential candidates include:

• Vladislav Davankov, the deputy speaker of the State Duma
• Leonid Slutsky, the chairman of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia
• Gennady Zyuganov, the chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation

The election is likely to be closely watched by the international community, as it will be a test of Putin's popularity and the state of democracy in Russia.

Some key issues that are likely to be debated in the election include:

• The war in Ukraine
• The economy
• Social welfare
• Foreign policy

The outcome of the election is likely to have a significant impact on Russia's future. If Putin is re-elected, he will remain in power until 2030, which would give him a total of 24 years in office. This would make him the longest-serving Russian leader since Joseph Stalin.
