The Transbaikal electoral district (Russian: Забайкальский избирательный округ) was a constituency created for the 1917 Russian Constituent Assembly election. The electoral district covered the Transbaikal Oblast.[3] 6 out of the 15 submitted lists in Transbaikal were rejected by the electoral authorities.[4]

In Transbaikal the local Bolshevik party organization had steered away from the party centre, and cooperated with the local Mensheviks and Socialist-Revolutionaries. In May 1917 the three parties had a joint list for the local government election. As of July 1917 Bolsheviks and Mensheviks were still holding joint meetings in Chita.[5] The city was ruled by a People's Soviet, gathering SRs (both right and left-wing factions), Mensheviks and Bolsheviks.[6] Only in the immediate run-up to the October Revolution was an All-Siberian Executive Bureau of the Bolshevik Party formed and the Siberian Bolsheviks began to conform with the party line.[5]

Rupen (1964) lists largely similar results as Radkey, but with different totals for the Union of Transbaikal Old Believers (176 votes) and instead of the Popular Socialists he mentions a "Barguzin Branch, RSDRP" with 1,248 votes. He refers to the Mensheviks as "Chita Branch, RSDRP [Mensheviks]".[11]
