In the parliamentary elections there is Day of Silence on 31 October.
According to the Electoral Code, on the day before the vote every election campaign is banned.
In this regard, at 8:00 on October 31 in Azerbaijan, the election campaigning by the candidates was stopped. Their posters were removed from the stands in front of polling stations.
At the same time, by the noon, the campaign materials remained on the sites of several publications, as well as in social networks on the Internet.
The parliamentary elections will be held on November 1. As many as 767 candidates run for 125 seats.
The opposition National Council of Democratic Forces refused to participate in the election campaign, expressing this way a protest against the lack of conditions for free and fair elections. A few days before the vote the party Musavat and the movement NIDA withdrew from the elections for the same reasons.
In the vast majority of constituencies the election is actually politically uncontested.
In only a few counties there is a real alternative to pro-government candidates by the representatives of the movement REAL, the bloc Freedom 2015 and the party Umid (Hope). -06D--
