Presidential elections were held in Tajikistan on 6 November 1999. They were won by the incumbent, Emomali Rahmonov, who received 98% of the vote. The opposition, who had demanded the elections be postponed, amid claims that the government obstructed candidates from registering as candidates, described the result as illegal.
International observers were also critical of the elections, particularly regarding the issues of candidate registration, media access and voting irregularities, including multiple voting. The incumbent government had tight control over media, preventing independent and opposition perspectives.
Turnout was reported to be 99% of the 2,866,578 registered voters.
