The Forgotten Power: Political Rights in Uzbekistan and the Decline of Voter Participation

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: As someone who is deeply concerned about civic engagement, I find it troubling how political rights in Uzbekistan–once hard-won freedoms–are increasingly overlooked. This article reflects on the decline of voter participation, a right that past generations fought for but is now often ignored. Beyond just voting, I also examine other fundamental political rights, like freedom of speech, assembly, and access to justice, questioning why they remain underutilized. Through this discussion, I hope to shed light on the societal and systemic factors at play and emphasize the urgent need to rekindle a sense of civic responsibility among Uzbek citizens.
