Kazakhstan accelerates training for 71,000 referendum commission members ahead of vote
Kazakhstan is stepping up efforts to prepare for an upcoming nationwide referendum. The government has launched a large-scale training programme to ensure election commission members are fully equipped for the process.
Transparency and openness remain central to the plans, with structured training and public engagement already in motion.
The preparations follow a systematic, multi-tiered approach. The first phase began with an online seminar for 821 permanent members of territorial commissions. This session focused on constitutional laws and included an assessment test to tailor further instruction.
The second phase involved regional training for 908 members of territorial commissions and precinct commission leaders. These sessions built on the initial online seminar, reinforcing key procedures and responsibilities. Now, the final phase is underway, targeting the remaining 38,068 precinct commission members. This stage is expected to wrap up by March 13, completing the training for all 71,030 referendum commission representatives. To support the process, instructional materials and a video course on voting procedures have been provided. Additionally, an online seminar was held for civil society groups and media representatives to promote transparency. Methodological support and ongoing engagement with public institutions form part of the broader strategy to ensure a smooth and open referendum process.
The training programme covers all levels of election commission members, from territorial to precinct staff. With the final phase nearing completion, the government's focus remains on practical implementation and maintaining public trust. The structured approach aims to leave no gaps in preparation before the vote takes place.
