The Legislative Assembly of Tver Oblast (Russian: Законодательное собрание Тверской области) is the regional parliament of Tver Oblast, a federal subject of Russia. A total of 40 deputies are elected for five-year terms.[1]

History

On 20 March 1994, the first Legislative Assembly, consisting of 32 deputies, was elected by direct popular vote. The first meeting was held on 31 March. The deputies adopted the Declaration, which proclaimed: "The Legislative Assembly exercises representative (legislative) power in Tver Oblast and is part of the system of state authorities."[2]

On 14 December 1997, elections of the second Legislative Assembly took place in all 26 constituencies. 33 deputies were elected, of which seven were members of the first Assembly. On 29 November 1998, the Charter of Tver Oblast was adopted.[3]
