Khokhlov was elected member of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Supreme Soviet of the USSR (1937–58), from 17 January 1938 to 31 May 1938 he was deputy chairman of the Presidium. From 2 June 1940 to 23 June 1943, he was the chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR. Due to the prolonged absence of Khokhlov, from 5 May 1942 his deputy Konstantin Pamfilov was the acting chairman of the Council of People's Commissars. Khokhlov's absence in Moscow was caused by his membership in the Military Council of Western Front. The main concern of Khokhlov at this time was the transportation of troops, the army's provision with military equipment, weapons, ammunition, fuel, evacuation from the western and southwestern regions, and repair of military equipment.
From 1955 he was the head of the Main Directorate for Trade Inspection of the Ministry of Trade of the USSR.[3] Ivan Khokhlov died in Moscow on 11 February 1973 and was buried at Novodevichy Cemetery.
