The Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the Electoral Code, and other normative-legal documents that establish the main rules and principles for conducting elections and referendums, as well as international election standards, are widely reflected in practice, contributing to the further strengthening of democratic values and universally recognized principles in our country, as well as the growing prestige of our country on the international stage. This was especially evident in the process of preparing and conducting the parliamentary elections (2019) and the presidential elections (2021) with great success in recent years, as well as in the process of preparing and conducting the referendum of the Republic of Uzbekistan (2023). All elections and referendums held in independent Uzbekistan show that the interest and activity of the population in socio-political processes are steadily increasing.

These extremely important political processes in the life of our country - the election of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the election to the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan, as well as the organization and conduct of the referendum of the Republic of Uzbekistan - are successfully implemented by the Central Election Commission of the Republic of Uzbekistan on the basis of the principles of independence, legality, collegiality, transparency, and fairness.
