BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 2. The rule for
scheduling elections to the Supreme Assembly of Azerbaijan's
Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic is being amended, Trend reports.
This issue is reflected in the draft law "On approval of
amendments to the Constitution of the Nakhchivan Autonomous
Republic," discussed at today's plenary session of the Azerbaijani
Parliament.
According to the current legislation, the Supreme Assembly
speaker schedules the election to the assembly.
According to the proposed amendment, the election to the
assembly will be scheduled by the president of Azerbaijan based on
the proposals of the assembly speaker.
Moreover, if the conduct of military operations in wartime makes
it impossible to hold elections to the Supreme Assembly, the term
of its office will be extended until the end of military
operations. A decision on this will be made by the Supreme Court of
the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic upon the application of the
state body ensuring the preparation and holding of elections in the
Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic.
The draft law was put to debate and passed in a second vote. The
first vote was held on July 8, 2025.
