The CEC

Mission

The Central Election Commission of the Republic of Kazakhstan is a permanent institution that heads up a nationwide system of local and regional election commissions. The CEC monitors observance of electoral legislation and ensures its uniform application across the country.

The CEC is responsible for preparing and supervising elections for the Presidency, for deputies of the Majilis and Senate of the Parliament, and for national referenda. It also provides guidance and instruction to local and regional election commissions during the elections to the Maslikhats and local administration bodies, which are in turn accountable to the CEC.

The CEC alone determines the result of all the above elections and transmits this information officially to the media.

One of the most important tasks of the CEC is to explain the law and raise awareness of electoral practice among voters, and to stimulate voter interest generally in political activity and the electoral process.

The CEC has recently pioneered the introduction of a nationwide computerized information system ("Vybory" or Election) that has been established so as to safeguard free and fair elections, ensure compliance with the law and facilitate the distribution of information to voters.
