Summary/Abstract: The publication discusses the current problems of the sources of electoral law in Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan. In the indicated countries, the basic sources of electoral law are their constitutions and statutes, which are a development of constitutional norms. Of great importance in the field of electoral law are also acts of international law, the parties to which are the above-indicated states. At the statutory level, Central Asian countries have developed two models of regulation of electoral law norms: the model of dispersed regulation, in which the provisions of electoral law to representative bodies were regulated in separate acts, and the model of concentrated regulation, expressed in one normative act – the electoral code. In each of these countries the system of sources of electoral law is generally consistent in terms of normative technics and axiological values with similar regulations in developed democratic countries.
