A day before the election, CEC Chairman Mazahir Panahov said that 6,421,960 citizens will vote in the elections.

The chairman of the commission said that the elections will be held in 6478 polling stations, 6343 of which are permanent and 135 are temporary.

According to the chairman of the CEC, the majority of voters in the country are between the ages of 30 and 39:

“The number of first-time voters is 51,141. Our oldest voter is a 134-year-old woman. “Our oldest male voter is 109 years old.”

Mazahir Panahov said that there are a total of 112,749 local observers, 7,077 of them are registered in the CEC, and 105,672 in the constituency election commissions (CECs).

The elections were observed by 60 deputies of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly and 300 members of the monitoring mission of the OSCE Democratic Institutions and Human Rights Bureau.

The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) was not invited to observe the early elections.

Prior to this election, Azerbaijan did not invite the delegation of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe to observe the extraordinary presidential elections held in February this year.

The refusal to invite the delegation of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe is one of the reasons for the suspension of the authority of the delegation of Azerbaijan in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe for a period of one year.

Musavat, Republican Alternative (REAL) and other pro-opposition parties participated in the election.

The Azerbaijan People’s Front Party (APF) boycotted the elections stating that “there are no conditions for fair political competition in the country, fundamental freedoms are restricted, and there are more than 300 political prisoners.”
