Kazakhstan actively preparing for Kurultai elections

Kazakhstan's Central Election Commission (CEC) has accredited 10 more international observers for the upcoming Kurultai elections, bringing the total number of representatives from foreign countries and international organizations to 96. In addition, 82 polling stations have been established in 65 countries to facilitate voting abroad. They will operate at Kazakhstan's embassies and consulates. The CEC also reminded voters of the voting rules. Once a ballot has been marked, it must not be photographed, filmed, or shared online. This is intended to preserve the secrecy of the vote and ensure the free expression of voters' will. The CEC also held an online seminar for media representatives, outlining the stages of the election campaign, the rules for covering the elections, and the regulations governing election campaigning. The commission noted that such events help ensure the transparency of the electoral process and provide citizens with objective information.
