On December 22, 2019, a major political process - the election of deputies to the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis and Local Councils took place in our country.

 

Under the decision of the Central Election Commission of December 25, 2019, in 25 constituencies for the elections to the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the winners of the first round were not determined, that is, since none of the five political party candidates nominated in these constituencies received more than 50 percent of the votes cast, a repeat vote was scheduled for January 5, 2020, between the two candidates who received the most votes in those constituencies.

 

On 5 January, repeat voting took place in 1,730 polling stations in 25 constituencies for the elections to the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

 

In these polling stations, 3 million 147 thousand 79 citizens were included in the Single Electronic Voter List (SEVL), of which 1 million 978 thousand 48 took part in the repeat voting. This means that 62.8% of the citizens included in the SEVL took part in the repeat voting. It should be noted that, following Article 59 of the Electoral Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the percentage of voter turnout in repeat voting is not taken into account, however, the turnout of 62.8% of the electorate proved once again that the political and legal culture of our citizens is growing, that they are not indifferent to the elections of the new parliament and support the comprehensive, fair and humane policy pursued in the country.

 

The candidate who receives more votes than the other candidate is considered elected in re-voting.

 

The repeat voting process was monitored by more than 5,000 observers from political parties and citizens’ self-government bodies. Representatives of domestic and foreign media accredited by the Central Election Commission of the Republic of Uzbekistan, as well as local journalists accredited by the territorial election commissions, also actively covered the election process.
