Then-First Deputy Governor of Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug Vladimir Vladimirov was appointed acting Governor of Stavropol Krai in September 2013, replacing Valery Zerenkov, who resigned just a little over a year in office.

[1] Vladimirov easily won the election for a full term in September 2014 against three opponents with 84.22% of the vote.

[4] Stavropol Krai followed suit and lifted the restrictions, which allowed Vladimirov to seek another term in 2024.

Each candidate in order to be registered is required to collect at least 6% of signatures of members and heads of municipalities.

Governor Vladimirov re-appointed incumbent Senator Mikhail Afanasov (United Russia) to the Federation Council.
