Bakhrom Kuchkarov, the deputy chairman of the Republic of Uzbekistan’s central election commission, stated that the country’s parliamentary and local elections are underway today, October 27, and that everything is calm throughout the nation.Voting for the parliamentary elections has begun in every Uzbek region.
According to him, there are five main political parties running for office, and each party has an equal chance to win over supporters. During these elections, citizens of the Republic of Uzbekistan, including women, young people, and people from all walks of life, participate in politics.
It is important to note that, after major constitutional and electoral legislative framework reforms, Uzbekistan will hold local and parliamentary elections on October 27, 2024.The new mixed electoral system is being used for the first time with these elections. The Republic of Uzbekistan’s political system has seen substantial changes in recent years, impacting every aspect of sociopolitical life.
The innovation and digitization of election legislation is one of these developments. In elections to the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan, this entails switching the country’s electoral system from a majority to a majority-proportional one, sometimes known as mixed.
Many other states on various continents also employ the mixed electoral system, which combines two traditional election formulas (proportional and majority), from the nations of the Far East (Japan, etc.) and the European Union (Bulgaria, Hungary, Germany, Italy).
The goal of switching to a majority-proportional electoral system is to enable more thorough vote tallying and more precisely reflect the nation’s actual political climate.Second, there will be greater balance in the representation of Uzbekistan’s regions in the lower house of parliament.
