Elections for the lower chamber of the parliament (Majlisi Oli) of Tajikistan are expected to take place in February 2000. The upper chamber is likely to be elected shortly thereafter. This document presents comments on a draft text of the Law which will regulate both elections. At the time of writing a final draft had not been agreed for approval by the present parliament. The recommendations are designed to assist in bringing the Law into conformity with OSCE standards, in particular the commitments for free elections under the Copenhagen Document. The comments are based on an unofficial English translation of the original Tajik text.
