We came to tell and explain the electoral rights and the requirements of the law «On elections in the Republic of Kazakhstan», - said the Deputy Chairman of the Almaty Election Commission for the Bostandyk district.

If a student is not registered at the place of residence in Almaty, he may apply to the local Akimat with a statement and register at the polling station.

«Each voter has the right to register as a voter in the local executive body from the moment of announcement or appointment of elections. The reason for including a person in the voter list at a particular polling station is the fact of his registration at the place of residence (propiska). The list includes the last name, first name, patronymic, year of birth, individual identification number and address of the residence of the voter».
