The 63 members of the Assembly of Representatives are elected by two methods: 41 members are elected in single-member constituencies using the two-round system, whilst 22 seats are elected by proportional representation in a single nationwide constituency, with an electoral threshold of 5%.^[3] Voters cast a single ballot for a candidate in their single-member constituency, with the total votes received across all constituencies used to determine the proportional seats. In each constituency, voter turnout is required to be at least 50% for the election to be declared valid.^[4]

Twnety-five out of 33 members of the National Assembly are elected indirectly by district and city councils from the five regions of Tajikistan for a five-year term with each region being represented by equal number of members. The other eight members are appointed by the president.

Russia, China and Tajikistan's Central Asian neighbours endorsed the election results, while the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe refused to send observers due to a lack of "formal guarantees" that they would be allowed to carry out their work. The Tajik electoral commission also did not issue accreditations to media outlets not affiliated with the Tajik government including the local branch of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and Asia-Plus, citing administrative issues.^[5]
