Azerbaijan’s next Parliamentary elections will be in the fall of 2015.

Elections are an important event in the political life of any country, because a new composition for the supreme legislative body of the state is realized.

Many political parties and groups have already expressed their wish to participate in the elections; however, not all have yet managed to hold meetings.

Meanwhile, Representatives of the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) met with the Chairman of the Central Election Commission Mazahir Panahov on August 12.

During the meeting, it was noted that the Central Election Commission of Azerbaijan appreciates relations with international organizations and intends to continue working with them closely.

Mazahir Panahov answered questions posed by OSCE representatives regarding preparations for the elections, steps taken to ensure the electoral rights of citizens, as well as future plans.

Moreover, it was earlier noted that the commission plans to install web cameras in more than 1,000 polling stations in the regions of Azerbaijan and Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic. 296 webcams will be installed in the electoral districts in Baku.
