Today Sherig-ool Oorzhak, the President of the Republic has signed the new election laws adopted by the Supreme Khural (parliament of Tuva) in July this year. The new laws would serve as the base for the introduction of a new state system in Tuva. In accordance with the new Constitution of Tuva, adopted on the republican referendum on 6, May, 2001 Tuva will have no President any more but will have a 2-cameral parliament consisting of 162 deputies. These innovations were initiated by the Sherig-ool Oorzhak and were supported by people through an all-republican vote in May.
