Participatory budgeting (PB) has become a cornerstone of open governance reform in Uzbekistan since the launch of the "Open Budget" portal in 2019. By 2023, the system recorded over 18 million votes in a single season, with more than 55,000 citizen proposals submitted. However, participation levels vary significantly across regions. This study applies multi-factor regression analysis to identify the socio-economic, institutional, and technological determinants of citizen participation in Uzbekistan's PB process, using a regional panel dataset covering the period 2021-2025.
