Congratulations on Global Elections Day

February 2, 2023 marks Global Elections Day, established as part of the General Conference of Election Management, held on September 14-17, 2005 in Budapest.

At the initiative of the Association of European Election Officials (AEEEO), World Election Day is celebrated annually on the first Thursday of February.

Professionals in the field of organising and conducting elections, establishing the Global Elections Day, pursued one goal – to draw attention to the issues of ensuring the electoral rights of citizens and improving electoral processes.

This year, the Election Day is especially symbolic for Kazakhstanis since it falls for the period of preparation for the upcoming early elections of members to the Mazhilis of the Parliament and maslikhats of all levels, scheduled for March 19 this year.

The Central Election Commission of the Republic of Kazakhstan congratulates all citizens of the country on this holiday and wishes that our society always moves along the path of democratisation and democratic values, realising that elections are an integral attribute of a democratic legal state with a strong civil society.
