Ust-Orda Buryat Autonomous Okrug was an autonomous okrug of Russia within Irkutsk Oblast. After a 16 April 2006 referendum, in which almost 90% of participants voted for unification with Irkutsk Oblast, the autonomous okrug was merged into the oblast on 1 January 2008. The territory has since been administrated as the Ust-Orda Buryat Okrug of Irkutsk Oblast.
