The government of Azerbaijan has declared Wednesday, October 15, 2003, as a one-off public holiday on the occasion of the upcoming Presidential Election.
If no candidate obtains 50 per cent of the vote, then the two leading candidates will contest a second round of voting on the second Sunday following the first voting (October 26, 2003).
Recall that, as per Article 8 of Chapter 1 of the recently-amended Election Code of the Republic of Azerbaijan (27-May-2003), the day of elections and referenda in Azerbaijan are non-working public holidays (Voting Day shall not be considered a working day).
