Summary/Abstract: Summarizing, the holding of elections is an important stage of the movement towards democracy in post-conflict countries and countries that are beginning to democratize. However, this process should not be considered mechanistically and at one moment. A number of conditions are necessary for elections to successfully implement their democratization function, including the formation of a general favorable security and political context, the formation of effective and impartial electoral institutions, the establishment of an optimal election system, as well as ensuring the transparency and fairness of the electoral process, as well as guaranteeing the establishment of positive election results that will be trusted among the subjects of the election process and among the electorate.
