Members of the public respected in the country and working in different spheres are included in the composition of 466 precinct electoral commissions formed in Jizzakh Region.

At the seminar, speeches were heard on the legal basis for electoral commissions’ work, on the financing of their work, the compilation of lists of voters, the legal system of voting processes, early voting, the role of observers in electoral processes and the role of media in ensuring the transparency of elections.

“Today’s event is of important significance to raising the knowledge of members of precinct electoral commissions about the national electoral legislation and about topical tasks relating to the preparation and conduct of the elections. Representatives of various spheres who gained a certain amount of experience from previous elections are working in the composition of the precinct electoral commissions. Pre-election events are being held effectively due to the fact that the chairmen, deputy chairmen, secretaries and members of the electoral commissions have adequate knowledge and experience,” says M.Oripova, deputy chairperson of Jizzakh district electoral commission No 4.
