Parliamentary elections are set to be held in Tajikistan on 2 and 28 March 2025. A first round will be held to elect the Assembly of Representatives, and a second to elect the National Assembly of Tajikistan.[1]
Electoral system
[edit]The 63 members of the Assembly of Representatives are elected by two methods: 41 members are elected in single-member constituencies using the two-round system, whilst 22 seats are elected by proportional representation in a single nationwide constituency, with an electoral threshold of 5%.[2] Voters cast a single ballot for a candidate in their single-member constituency, with the total votes received across all constituencies used to determine the proportional seats. In each constituency, voter turnout is required to be at least 50% for the election to be declared valid.[3]
25 out of 33 members of the National Assembly are elected indirectly by district and city councils from the five regions of Tajikistan for a five-year term with each region being represented by equal number of members. The other eight members are appointed by the president.
