The Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe was critical of the election.[2]

Electoral system

The 63 members of the Assembly of Representatives are elected by two methods: 41 members are elected in single-member constituencies using the two-round system, whilst 22 seats are elected by proportional representation in a single nationwide constituency, with an electoral threshold of 5%.[3] Voters cast a single ballot for a candidate in their single-member constituency, with the total votes received across all constituencies used to determine the proportional seats. In each constituency, voter turnout is required to be at least 50% for the election to be declared valid.[4]

Campaign

A total of 241 candidates contested the elections, 65 for the 22 party-list seats and 176 for the 41 constituency seats.[5]

The Islamic Renaissance Party of Tajikistan was unable to participate, having been banned by the authorities over terrorism allegations in 2015.[6]

gollark: `-g3` doesn't add more useful output.
gollark: MPU6050.
gollark: The basic raw-value-reading bit, which I could easily implement myself in python, works fine, but some DMP code I had to copy from the arduino library (which is probably why it breaks horribly?) causes æææ.
gollark: ```MPU6050 3-axis acceleromter example programASAN:DEADLYSIGNAL===================================================================2032==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: SEGV on unknown address 0x00000013 (pc 0x0014255c bp 0x7ea10018 sp 0x7ea10000 T0) #0 0x14255b (/home/pi/mputest/a.out+0x14255b) #1 0xcdec3 (/home/pi/mputest/a.out+0xcdec3) #2 0x76c256bf (/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc.so.6+0x2c6bf)AddressSanitizer can not provide additional info.SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: SEGV (/home/pi/mputest/a.out+0x14255b) ==2032==ABORTING```This is very unhelpful.
gollark: Now, *technically* I could implement all the filtering and sensor fusion algorithms and calibration myself in python, however no.
