is that whether the election is essentially for the parliament or for local councils, this process is 
not just about electing a "people's servant", i.e. a deputy, but also about the participation of each 
voter in the state administration, as well as the conscious feeling and "independent choice" of 
who to give his powers in the management of society. is important. 
Of course, in the first years of independence, when the fundamental renewal of society began, it 
was an extremely important task to form local councils consisting of deputies who could 
combine the wishes and interests of citizens with the interests of the general society, and at the 
same time have political, legal, economic knowledge, and rich practical experience. Based on 
these requirements, on May 5, 1994, the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On Elections of 
People's Deputies to Regional, District and City Councils" was adopted (the document has lost 
its validity). 
At the session of the Oliy Council of the Republic of Uzbekistan on September 23, 1994, it was 
decided to hold elections to the Oliy Majlis and regional, district and city councils on December 
25, 1994 [3]. Tasks related to preparation for the upcoming election were defined in the decision. 
On December 25, 1994, elections to local Councils of People's Deputies were held for the first 
time after the independence of our country based on this Law. The Dzhokorgi Council of the 
Republic of Karakalpakstan, regional and Tashkent city hokims prepared for this political 
campaign [1]. 
First of all, it should be noted that the participation, rights and obligations of local councils and 
governors during elections are expressed in the election laws. There were also such norms in the 
Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On the Election of the President of the Republic of 
Uzbekistan" (the document has lost its validity) [4]. 
The election legislation was improved, all laws related to the organization of election processes 
were brought into the form of a single Code, and on June 25, 2019, the "Election Code of the 
Republic of Uzbekistan" was adopted. 
Election districts are created by the Central Election Commission within the regions of the 
Republic of Karakalpakstan, regions and Tashkent city. City and district governments are 
directly involved in the construction of polling stations. As required by law, polling stations are 
established by district election commissions based on the submission of district and city 
governments. The authorities should decide on the issue of allocation of buildings to districts and 
polling stations [2]. 
According to Article 21 of the Code, candidates for the membership of district election 
commissions for holding the election of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the 
election of deputies of the Legislative Chamber are discussed at the meetings of the Dzhokorgi 
Council of the Republic of Karakalpakstan, people's deputies of the regions and Tashkent City 
Councils, and are recommended for approval by the Central Election Commission. 
Members of district election commissions for holding elections to regional and Tashkent City 
Councils of People's Deputies are approved on the recommendation of district and city Councils 
of People's Deputies. 
The existence of this norm in our legislation creates a basis for citizens who have a good 
reputation among the people to become members of district and precinct election commissions. 
Because the deputies of the local Council know the citizens of this area well. During the 
discussion of the candidates, the most suitable ones are recommended [2]. 
When recommending candidates to the district election commission, it is appropriate to take into 
account cities and districts, candidates' specialties. Also, the members of the precinct election 
commission should be from different professions and live in different places of the region [2]. 
According to the requirements of Article 26 of the "Election Code" of the Republic of 
Uzbekistan, the bodies of state bodies and public associations, enterprises, institutions,
