There is a special procedure for election of Members of the Senate. Several maslikhats may jointly nominate a single candidate. A decision to nominate a candidate to the office of Senator shall be made by majority vote of all members of the relevant maslikhat. Within three days after its adoption, such decision must be promulgated to the nominee. People's movements and political parties can not nominate candidates to the office of Senator.
Election deposit has to be made from personal means of candidate.
A joint meeting shall be duly constituted if more than fifty percent of the total number of members of the maslikhats are present. Voting in senatorial elections at a joint meeting shall be deemed valid if more than fifty percent of all electors present have participated in the voting. In whole, senatorial elections are not a matter of interest for electors. There are a number of reasons for that. First of all during the elections to maslikhats in 1994 elections were conducted in accordance with Constitution of 1993, when Parliament consisted of just one Chamber.
