Local Government and Self-Government Day is observed in Tajikistan on December 1 every year. Established through a government decree in 2023, this day highlights the significant role of local self-government bodies within the country's state power structure. The constitutional law “On Local Government Bodies,” adopted in 2004, regulates these bodies, which include representative assemblies known as majlis, elected by citizens aged 18 and older. Majlis members serve five-year terms and are responsible for approving local budgets, establishing taxes, and managing communal property. Local self-government in towns and villages is exercised by jamoats, which address community issues and ensure compliance with sanitary standards. This professional day is not a non-working holiday and serves to recognize the importance of local governance in Tajikistan.
