Roundtable on Elections, Review of the Consolidated Table of Political Party Proposals in Kazakhstan in the Republic of Kazakhstan

This report compiles some of the proposals (over 100) put forth by the political parties for amending the election legislation of Kazakhstan. The document is based on the tabulation of all proposals carried out by the Central Election Commission (CEC). The compilation is neither exhaustive nor comprehensive since it does not include all proposals consolidated in the CEC table. Rather, the focus is on areas that enjoy a broad support among political parties. The aim is to review some issues identified by the parties as areas of concern in the current legislation. The format of the document deviates from the CEC table. However, articles of the election law to which amendments are proposed are indicated as well as the name of the party behind the proposals. In addition, the complete proposal in Russian is preceded by a short English summary of each party proposal presented in this report. This compilation does not replace and should be read in conjunction with the full length report prepared by the CEC on proposals presented by political parties and previous OSCE/ODIHR reports on elections.
