Abstract

The article discusses the basic principles of organizing elections of leaders to local authorities (volost administrators, village elders, people's judges) in the second half of the XIX century, that is, after the accession of Kyrgyzstan to Russia. The purpose of the work is to analyze the features of the election process, the  electoral  system  organized by  the   so-called   "Military-People's  Administration"   system introduced into the region by colonial Russia. The study uses historical-comparative, historical-genetic, chronological methods. The systematized materials and theoretical recommendations of the article allow us to supplement some unexplored aspects of the historiography of the Turkestan region in the colonial period. The issues considered in the study contribute to the study of the history of Kyrgyzstan, and young people take a new attitude to our past. The data and results of the study can be used in the preparation of special courses, theses, scientific research on the colonial era of the Turkestan region.
