The Legislative Chamber consists of 150 members, of whom 135 are elected by a popular vote in constituencies through a two-round system and 15 are indirectly elected. The 30 per cent minimum gender quota for the Supreme Assembly and the Regional, District and City Councils was first introduced in 2004.

"No laws restrict women’s political participation. Uzbekistan prohibits violence against women and forbids discrimination in the workplace. Consequently, women hold high offices throughout the country, and since 2004, when the 30% quota for women in political parties’ lists of candidates was introduced, the proportion of women in Parliament has increased, from 9.4% in 2014 to 16% in 2017" (Asian Development Bank).

"The Republic of Uzbekistan reaffirms the importance of the Beijing Platform for Action as a basis for further reforms, policy development and project implementation, especially in the context of setting the goals for achieving gender equality in the framework of the “Development Strategy of Uzbekistan in 2017-2021" (UNECE).
