In December 2003 – March 2007 he was a deputy in the State Duma (of LDPR faction).
On January 30, 2007, amendments to the Russian election legislation, which would allow people without a law degree to become members of the Central Election Commission, were passed by the President of Russia. This enabled Churov to be elected to the Commission.
In the Russian legislative election, 2011, Churov maintained that the elections were free of falsifications, although the media reported a number of instances when the data of Central Election Commission of Russia differed with the protocols of election districts. One of the demands during the 2011 Russian protests was the resignation of Churov.
