After the constitution is amended, the presidential term will be changed to 7 years. The age limit for presidential candidates will be adjusted to not less than 35 years old. Not less than 30 years old, and it is determined by law that the limit on the number of presidential terms does not apply to "national leader" Rahmon.

　　Tajikistan's relevant laws stipulate that political parties, the Federation of Independent Trade Unions, Youth Leagues, and the local councils of certain cities and municipalities officially registered in the country have the right to nominate a presidential candidate.

In addition, citizens who meet the election requirements can also run as independent candidates if they can collect more than 5% of the voters' signatures (about 220,000).
