TheSupreme Assembly (Oliy Majlis) has 150 members in theLegislative Chamber, elected for a five-year terms and 100 members in theSenate; 84 members elected at the sessions of district, regional and city deputies, and 16 members appointed by the president. Mostparties are excluded.Uzbekistan is a state dominated by the supporters of ahead of state – thepresident.Oppositionparties are allowed, but are widely considered to have no real chance of gaining power.
Uzbekistan had the highestvoting age in the world, at 25. It has since been lowered to 18 in line with international norms.
Shortly after the polls closed, various international news outlets by then had already called the race for incumbentShavkat Mirziyoyev before the official results were announced.[1][2][3][4][5] The following day on 25 October, the CEC published its preliminary results, confirming Mirziyoyev's win of 80.1% vote share,[6] noted to be lower than in the previous2016 presidential election in which theEurasianet described as "part of the authorities’ attempt to paint a picture of blossoming political pluralism" while according to Kristian Lasslett, professor atUlster University, saw this as "choreographed concession to plurality" that would give foreign supporters more justifications in engaging with the Uzbek government by pointing out "positive changes" in regards to Mirziyoyev's reduced vote share.[7]
TheEuronews mistakenly reported that Mirziyoyev had garnered about 90% of the vote instead of the official 80%,[8] to which the CEC in response denied the agency's reports, adding that the final results will be announced before the end of the October,[9] as Article 97 of the Electoral Code requires that the commission take no more than 10 days after the elections to fully validate them.[10]
