News Article: Order of Political Parties Determined for Upcoming Kazakhstan Majilis Elections
The order of political parties that will appear on the ballot for the upcoming Majilis elections in Kazakhstan has been decided. The Central Election Commission (CEC) of Kazakhstan conducted a draw to determine the sequence, ensuring a fair and impartial process.
The People's Party of Kazakhstan, Nur Otan (Light of the Homeland) Party, Auyl (Village) National Democratic Party, Ak Zhol (Bright Path) Democratic Party, and Adal (Honesty, Justice) Political Party are the parties in the determined order.
The CEC oversees the verification and finalization of ballots, including the sequence of parties, in Kazakhstan's elections. This practice is common in parliamentary systems using party-list proportional representation. The Majilis, Kazakhstan's lower house, is partly elected through proportional party lists and partly through single-mandate districts.
The CEC verifies and publishes the official ballot order after the random draw or lottery. This process is an essential part of the broader electoral framework regulating candidate party lists and election procedures.
The Majilis elections are scheduled to take place on January 10, 2021. As of December 1, 2020, the total number of eligible voters in the unified electronic registry is 11,919,241. The total number of ballots to be produced and delivered to polling stations, including a 1% reserve, is 12,038,433.
The verification of the income and property declarations submitted by candidates nominated by political parties will be conducted by the tax authorities within 15 days of the registration of the party list. Information on the registration of party lists has been sent to the authorized state body for verification.
Kazakhstan's political environment is described as authoritarian by multiple sources. However, electoral processes such as ballot order are formally regulated by election law. The CEC protocol has approved the results of the draw, ensuring the transparency and integrity of the electoral process.
In conclusion, the official order of political parties on the Majilis ballot is determined by the Central Election Commission through a random draw or lottery to ensure fairness. The CEC verifies and publishes the ballot list before the election, making the process an integral part of the broader electoral framework regulating candidate party lists and election procedures.
The Central Election Commission (CEC) of Kazakhstan has published the official ballot order for the upcoming Majilis elections, listing the parties in the sequence as The People's Party of Kazakhstan, Nur Otan (Light of the Homeland) Party, Auyl (Village) National Democratic Party, Ak Zhol (Bright Path) Democratic Party, and Adal (Honesty, Justice) Political Party. This process falls under the broader framework of policy-and-legislation, as it is a regulatory aspect of Kazakhstan's parliamentary system, which includes politics.
