Memorandum on the OSCE PA Observation of the

Chairman of the Central Election Commission of the Republic of Uzbekistan, H.E. Mirza-Ulugbek
Abdusalomov, the OSCE PA President, as announced to the OSCE PA Standing Committee on 5 October 2019
in Marrakech, has decided to deploy an Election Observation Mission to these important elections to work
closely with the expected election observation mission of the OSCE/ODIHR.
Nomination and Appointment of Parliamentary Observers
In accordance with the attached OSCE PA Election Observation Guidelines, national Delegations wishing to
nominate their members to participate in this mission are kindly asked to complete and return to the

President. Due to registration procedures, we may not be able to accommodate those who register after the

Briefing on Mission for new OSCE PA observers
We kindly invite new members to attend the Briefing on the Mission aimed at providing useful information on
the general framework of PA observation missions. The briefing is open to all OSCE PA observers, but
participation is expected for new observers.
Election Day and Deployment
On Election Day, Members will generally work in teams of two. The OSCE/ODIHR does not consider
questionnaires filled in by one-person observer teams. The International Secretariat will circulate a draft
deployment plan taking into consideration personal wishes by the observers, but also the requirements for a
meaningful observation mission.
We kindly ask you to mark your preferences regarding deployment in the individual observer nomination form.
We also kindly encourage to consider deployment outside the capital, including in a location with overnight
stay. Please note that additional locations may be suggested depending upon developments in coming weeks.
Therefore, we ask observers NOT to make specific travel arrangements (transportation/hotels) within
Uzbekistan without first consulting with the International Secretariat.
Interpreter / Driver on Election Day
Further information on arrangements for cars/drivers and interpreters for our teams for Election Day will be
communicated in due time. Please let the Secretariat know if your Embassy in Uzbekistan will provide
Members with a car or/and an interpreter during the Election Day.
Visa Information
We strongly advise observers to apply and obtain a visa well in advance of departing for Uzbekistan by
contacting the relevant consulate. Attached is the invitation to the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, welcoming
an observation mission.
We would like to remind you that national parliaments are responsible for their own Member’s expenses,
including any hotel cancellations. We also urge Members to have health and travel insurance that is valid
in Uzbekistan.
