Turkic countries are deepening
electoral cooperation. The heads of the central election authorities of the
member states of the Organization of Turkic States, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, the
Kyrgyz Republic, Türkiye, and Uzbekistan, signed a statute on the establishment
of an advisory platform during a meeting in Turkistan. Notably, this initiative
had been put forward by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev at the anniversary
summit of the OTS in Astana. The consultative platform is intended to ensure
systematic cooperation and the exchange of experience among the countries on matters
related to electoral law.
«We have the opportunity for rapid and efficient information
exchange, enabling us to quickly come together, hold roundtables and
conferences, and conduct research of mutual interest. We are united by many
things, including our shared roots, origins, and the development path each of
our countries is following. We also face common challenges that we are working
on together. And all of this is for our voters, who must have access to free,
inclusive, fair, and transparent elections,» noted the Chairman of the Kazakh
Central Election Commission Nurlan Abdirov.
