The campaigning of candidates running for seats in maslikhats is continuing across Kazakhstan. In the western part of the country, there are more than 500 candidates, most of whom are self-nominated. Women and young people also make up a significant proportion of the candidates. On average, three candidates are competing for each regional maslikhat seat. Candidates are currently meeting with residents of the West Kazakhstan region, presenting their election programs and using the media and social networks to reach voters. In this way, they are informing voters about their plans and proposing solutions to local issues. The campaigning will continue until the day of silence on November 28. The elections themselves will take place on November 29.
«A total of 581 candidates were nominated in single-member constituencies, 551 of whom have been registered. They have now begun their election campaigning. Women make up 27% of the registered candidates, while 32.7% are young people under the age of 35,» noted Adil Zholamanov, Chairman of the West Kazakhstan Regional Territorial Election Commission.
