THE IMPORTANCE OF THE PARTICIPATION OF CITIZENS IN THE LOCAL GOVERNANCE PROCESS OF THE NAKHCHIVAN AUTONOMOUS REPUBLIC
Description
The Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic is one of the special administrative territorial units of Azerbaijan, and ensuring the participation of citizens in elections to local self-government bodies is of particular importance here. Local self-government is an important mechanism that allows citizens to directly or indirectly participate in democratic governance. In the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, this process is carried out in accordance with the Constitution of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the Law “On Municipalities” and other normative and legal acts. This article examines the participation of citizens in municipal elections in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic and the participation of elected representatives (municipal members) in solving issues of local importance by representing the interests of citizens.
