Conduct

The Russian daily newspaper Kommersant labelled the election as undemocratic and unrepresentative.{{cite web|url=https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/4593870|title=Пришерифская молдавская республика|website=Kommersant|date=30 November 2020}} According to Freedom House "Figures who oppose the local elites linked with Sheriff Enterprises are subject to intimidation and have been mostly silenced in recent years. The territory's persecuted opposition parties did not play a significant role in the 2020 legislative elections, which left the Supreme Council with no genuine opposition."{{cite web|url=https://freedomhouse.org/country/transnistria/freedom-world/2024|title=Freedom in the World 2024: Transnistria|website=Freedom House}} There were also allegations of electoral fraud.{{cite web|url=https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/4593870|title=Пришерифская молдавская республика|website=Kommersant|date=30 November 2020}}
