Parliamentary elections were held in Tajikistan on 2 March 2025 to elect the Assembly of Representatives.[1] The elections took place without independent observers and turned up an expected landslide for the ruling party People's Democratic Party.[2]
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%.[3] 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.[4]

Reactions
[edit]Russia, China and Tajikistan's Central Asian neighbours endorsed the election results, while the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe refused to send observers due to a lack of "formal guarantees" that they would be allowed to carry out their work. The Tajik electoral commission also did not issue accreditations to media outlets not affiliated with the Tajik government including the local branch of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and Asia-Plus, citing administrative issues.[5]
