Around 100 observers from the CIS will monitor the
referendum on the new Constitution in Kazakhstan. The mission headquarters is
located in Astana, and the first observers have already begun their work. More
than 10,000 referendum polling stations will open across the country. Most will
be located at voters’ registered places of residence, over 600 at places of temporary
residence, and more than 80 abroad. Citizens can check their assigned polling
station through special online services. Temporary registration will also be
available on voting day. Nearly 12.5 million Kazakh citizens are eligible to
take part in the vote. For the referendum to be recognized as valid, more than
half of registered voters, about 6.5 million people, must participate. The new
Constitution will be considered adopted if more than 50% of all voters cast
their ballots in favor. The results will be announced within seven days.
