Kazakhstan has announced the results of three exit
polls providing preliminary estimates of the vote in the Kurultai elections.
The surveys were conducted by the Institute of Eurasian Integration, the
Socis-A, the Institute for Comprehensive Social Research-Astana, and the
Institute of Public Policy. The exit polls were conducted using standard
international methodology, with voters interviewed as they left polling
stations. All three polls indicate similar preliminary results. More than 70%
of respondents said they had voted for the Adilet party, while the Auyl,
Respublica, Aq Jol and the Nationwide Social Democratic Party are also
projected to clear the 5% threshold. Thus, based on the preliminary findings of
three exit polls conducted through independent voter surveys, five of the seven
political parties could enter the new unicameral parliament.
