The Constitution and legislation of Tajikistan does not envisage local or regional referenda. Local governments and community governments can organize assemblies or public hearings to change the name of the territory or to merge or reduce the executive bodies. The results of these hearings or polls shall be submitted to upper house of Parliament for consideration. Some local governments also organize public hearings in order to debate concepts or determine the plans for territorial development
