Kazakhstan is holding a nationwide referendum today to decide on a new constitution. Voters across the country are casting their ballots, with Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov among those who have already participated. Officials have not yet released the total number of votes cast in the poll.
The constitutional referendum began on March 15, 2026, with polling stations open across Kazakhstan. Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov was one of the first high-profile figures to vote, marking his ballot early in the day.
The outcome will determine whether the proposed constitution is adopted. However, as of now, no figures on voter turnout or total ballots have been made public.
The results of the referendum will shape Kazakhstan's legal framework moving forward. Once the voting period ends, officials are expected to announce the final count and whether the new constitution has been approved.
