The chairman of the Central Election Commission M. Abdusalomov noted that during the commission’s meetings, activities related to the organization and conduct of elections in the Russian Federation, the People’s Republic of China, the USA, and the Republic of Korea were discussed in detail.

In particular, he said that the activities of polling stations opened in Ankara and Istanbul are organized in accordance with the election laws of Uzbekistan. “The painstaking work continues on the formation of a list of voters who have expressed a desire to vote on December 22. Citizens of Uzbekistan located in Turkey can get all the comprehensive information about the upcoming elections on the website of the Embassy. Voter registration is also ongoing on saylov.mfa.uz.
