The Kazakh Central Election Commission (CEC) today unveiled a sample ballot for the upcoming elections of deputies to the Kurultai. The ballot is double-sided and light blue in color. The front side will feature the State Emblem and the ballot title, while the reverse side will list the names of political parties in the order approved by the CEC, along with an «Against All» option. The ballots will incorporate multiple security features and will be printed to match the number of registered voters, with an additional 1% reserve. Distribution to polling stations will begin no earlier than three days before election day and will be completed no later than one day before the vote. Meanwhile, Precinct Election Commissions officially began operations across the country today.
«Starting today, Precinct Election Commissions across

open. From August 4 to 17, together with members of the Central Election
Commission and its staff, we will conduct inspection visits to all 20 regions
of the country. We will assess the readiness of polling stations, their
technical and logistical preparedness, voter information efforts, and the
