Parliamentary elections will be held in Azerbaijan on 1 September 2024.[1] They were originally scheduled to take place in November 2024, but were brought forward after parliament was dissolved in June 2024.[2]
Background
[edit]The elections were originally scheduled to take place in November 2024. However, in late June 2024 MPs asked President Ilham Aliyev to dissolve the National Assembly and call elections in September to avoid holding them during the 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference to be hosted in Baku from 11 to 22 November. Despite criticism from opposition parties, the measure was approved by the Constitutional Court on 27 June, which allowed Aliyev to dissolve parliament on 28 June and set 1 September as the date for the elections.[2]
Electoral system
[edit]The 125 members of the National Assembly are elected in single-member constituencies using the first-past-the-post system.[3]
