CONDUCTING ELECTIONS TO THE PARLIAMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF UZBEKISTAN: ACTIVITIES OF THE CENTRAL ELECTORAL COMMISSION AND MODERN MECHANISMS FOR ENSURING LEGITIMACY

Abstract

This article examines the role and importance of the new electoral system. This year, the Republic of Uzbekistan held elections for the first time under a new mixed electoral system, which will combine elements of the majoritarian and proportional electoral systems. In previous years, parliamentary elections in Uzbekistan were held under a majoritarian system, which provided for the creation of single-mandate constituencies and voters voting for specific candidates from parties represented in a particular constituency.
