Electoral system
The 125 members of the National Assembly were elected in single-member constituencies using the first-past-the-post system.[2]
Campaign
The elections were boycotted by the major opposition parties, including Musavat, who accused the government of "massive violations".[3]
Results
The results in constituency 90 (Agdash) were annulled due to irregularities after an appeal by two candidates; independent candidate Chingiz Asadullayev had been in the lead.[4]
