Parliamentary elections were held on Uzbekistan on 27 October 2024 to elect members of the Legislative Chamber.[1][2]

Electoral system

The 150 members of the Legislative Chamber are elected via parallel voting: half are elected in single-member constituencies via first-past-the-post voting, while the other half are elected via closed list proportional representation in a single nationwide constituency with an electoral threshold of 7% using the Hare quota. If less than one-third of eligible voters participate in an election, it will be considered invalid, and if no party crosses the electoral threshold for proportional seats, the elections for the proportional seats will be considered invalid. At least 40% of candidates must be women.[3]

Results

Turnout surpassed the 33% threshold needed for the election to be valid. All candidates came from the country's five registered political parties, none of which are in opposition to the government of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev.[4]

Results of the election showed 64 deputies for the Movement of Entrepreneurs and Businessmen – Uzbekistan Liberal Democratic Party, 29 from the Democratic Party of Uzbekistan, 20 from the People's Democratic Party of Uzbekistan, 21 from the Social Democratic Party, and 16 from the Ecological Party of Uzbekistan.[5][6]

Aftermath

The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe criticized the election for the lack of "a genuine choice" for voters, since all parliamentary parties are loyal to the President and opposition is suppressed. However, the organization also praised the reforms to the voting system that reserved more seats for women.[7]
