Dear Heads of Delegations,
Parliamentary elections will be held in Uzbekistan on 22 December 2019.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.
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 International Secretariat at ([email protected]) as soon as possible,
but no later than

A digital photo of each nominated observer.
Please note that in accordance with the Guidelines nominated observers are not part of an
observation mission before they have been appointed by the OSCE PA President. The
International Secretariat will communicate the list of observers to delegations that have
forwarded nominations following appointment by the OSCE PA President. Due to registration
procedures, we may not be able to accommodate those who register after the deadline.
Members are encouraged to consider observing with colleagues from other parliaments, to make
a multi-national team. We also encourage Members of Parliament to consider deployment
outside of the capital.
Further information, including a detailed programme, will be distributed to participants in due
course. Briefings for the mission are expected to be held in Tashkent during the two days before
election day, and Members are reminded that in accordance with the OSCE PA’s Astana
Declaration of 2008 and the Guidelines, participants are expected to attend the full briefing
programme as well as the debriefing on the day following the election.
I wish to remind you that national parliaments are responsible for their Members’ expenses and
that only interpretation into English will be provided in meetings and briefings.
Yours sincerely,
Roberto Montella
Secretary General
