Azerbaijan's CEC launches expert group to investigate violations

An expert group was established under the Azerbaijani Central Election Commission (CEC) to investigate the actions and decisions that violate the rights of voters. Today's meeting approved nine CEC members as members of the expert group.

In addition, the commission will establish expert groups at the constituencies. These expert groups will consist of three CEC members. Azerbaijan kicked off its parliamentary electoral campaigns on Sept. 4. Meanwhile, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev signed an order on Sept. 3 scheduling the next parliamentary elections for Nov. 7.

Previous elections in the legislature were held in November 2005. In Azerbaijan, parliamentary elections are held on the majority system in 125 electoral districts.
