Preparations for voting by Kazakh citizens abroad are
nearing completion. Ballots for the Kurultai elections will be delivered to
overseas polling stations by August 20. A total of 79 polling stations will
operate at Kazakhstan’s diplomatic missions in 61 countries. More than 10,400
polling stations have been set up across Kazakhstan and abroad. Voters can
check information about their polling stations through the e-government portal.
Voting will begin at 7 a.m. and end at 8 p.m. local time. However, at some
polling stations, including those at military units, remote work settlements,
hospitals and diplomatic missions, voting may end earlier if everyone on the
voter list has cast their ballot.
«It should be noted that the presence of international observers contributes to the openness and transparency of the election campaign. It also demonstrates our commitment to international obligations, as well as our continued close cooperation and engagement with international organizations and foreign states in the electoral sphere,» noted Nurlan Abdirov, Chairman of the Central Election Commission of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
