Abstract
"Democratic elections are the basis for progressive development of state and civil society in every country. Constitution of the Republic of Azerbaijan adopted in referendum in 1995, determined major directions for the conduct of transparent and democratic elections and provided legal framework for elections conducted in free and regular manner by secret and personal voting in the basis of general, equal and direct suffrage in Azerbaijan. One of the goals of the leadership of the Republic of Azerbaijan was to make progressive steps in the field of elections. Obvious sample for it is the Election Code of the Republic of Azerbaijan adopted in May of 2003. Election Code was prepared in close cooperation with OSCE/ODIHR and the Venice Commission of the Council of Europe. It was stated in the joint final assessment of the above-mentioned international organizations that the Election Code provides a comprehensive framework for the conduct of elections and referenda and, in most respects, meets international standards."
