Nationwide referendum approves constitutional changes with overwhelming support
A nationwide referendum on a new constitution took place under close observation by thousands of monitors. The AMANAT party organised nearly 22,000 observers after holding training sessions in early March. Preliminary results showed strong public support for the proposed changes.
The vote was held in a calm and orderly manner, with families and young first-time voters taking part. Local commissions quickly addressed minor technical and procedural issues at some polling stations. Officials later confirmed the referendum fully met legal standards and ran transparently.
A press conference followed to share findings from public monitoring efforts. Gulnara Nurakhmetkhanova and Argun Temirzhanov spoke on behalf of AMANAT, the party behind the observer network. Their team had prepared through seminars held from March 2 to 13. The Central Referendum Commission released preliminary figures showing a 73.12% turnout. Of those, 87.15% voted in favour of the amendments, while 898,099 rejected them. Another 146,558 ballots were declared invalid.
The referendum concluded with a clear majority approving the constitutional changes. Observers reported no major disruptions, and officials confirmed the process adhered to regulations. Final results will follow after all votes are verified.
