President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev visited polling station No. 59 of the Mirzo-Ulugbek district of Tashkent and took part in the voting.
As Day.Az reports, the head of state talked with citizens who came to the polling station. I expressed gratitude to them for their active participation in the elections with a sense of involvement in the fate of their native country and their region.
It should be noted that on October 27, elections of deputies to the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis (Parliament) and local Kengashes are being held in Uzbekistan.
Polling stations are open from 08.00 to 20.00 (GMT+5), and preliminary results will be announced on October 28.
Five parties are participating in the elections: the Movement of Entrepreneurs and Business People – the Liberal Democratic Party of Uzbekistan, the Milliy Tiklanish Democratic Party, the Ecological Party, the People’s Democratic Party and the Adolat Social Democratic Party.
elections to the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis are held on the basis of a majoritarian-proportional, that is, mixed electoral system. 75 deputies are elected directly by a majoritarian system, that is, by voting for their preferred candidates, and the remaining 75 are elected by a proportional system, when votes are cast for political parties.
Another remarkable aspect of the current elections is that the interaction of participants in the process has been completely digitalized through the E-Saylov information system.
In particular, more than 850 foreign and international observers as part of the missions of the CIS, SCO, and the Organization of Turkic States are taking part in monitoring the election process.
