Alexander Veshnyakov, the head of the Russian Central Election Commission, said 92 regional divisions of 15 political parties have registered their lists of candidates for the March 11 elections.
He said over 30 million Russians are expected to go to the polls on that day.
He also said the lineup of parties varied by region - from five in the Vologda Region to eight in the Moscow, Orel and Tomsk Regions.
Four parties out of 15 are fielding candidates in all 14 regions of Russia where elections will be held - pro-Kremlin United Russia, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, the ultra-nationalist Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR) and A Just Russia.
Veshnyakov said that this would be the first time that A Just Russia will be running under that name.
A Just Russia was formed in October 2006 as a merger of Rodina, the Russian Party of Life and the Russian Pensioners' Party. Sergei Mironov, the chairman of the Federation Council of Russia, is the new party's first chairman.
He said Russia's liberal Union of Right Forces (SPS) is running in nine regions.
It has been barred from the polls in Dagestan, the Vologda Region, Pskov and the Samara Region.
St. Petersburg and the Orel Region election committees refused to register the Russian liberal party Yabloko for the elections.
The committee in Russia's second city dismissed the party's complaint against the decision, saying that of the 20% of the signatures examined, 11.97% had been falsified.
Yabloko insisted that only 10.43% turned out to be invalid, representing a shortfall of only 0.43% of the number needed to be registered, according to Russian electoral law.
"The decision of the St. Petersburg Election Committee was made within the law," the commission said.
In January, the Election Committee in the North Caucasus republic of Dagestan also refused to register Yabloko, saying that more than 10% of the signatures in support of the party had been doctored.
Yabloko leaders said the refusal was a political move designed to neutralize the opposition.
In 2003, Yabloko won only four seats in Russia's 450-seat lower house of parliament. The party's poor performance was widely attributed to its failure to merge with another liberal bloc, the Union of Right Forces (SPS).
Since then, the State Duma has been increasingly dominated by the pro-Kremlin party United Russia.
