The article notes that during the years of independence in Uzbekistan, a legal framework for democratic elections was created, and on this basis, central and local government bodies were democratically formed. It is recognized that 6 laws on elections have been adopted, and these laws repeat the democratic principles of elections, which, in turn, creates difficulties in conducting elections. For this reason, the necessity of consolidating the electoral legislation into a single document – the Electoral Code is explained.
In the process of developing the Electoral Code, international experience in the preparation and conduct of elections was studied and the requirements of electoral standards developed by international organizations were taken into account. It is noted that the Electoral Code adopted on this basis has raised the electoral legislation in our country to a new level.
