According to preliminary estimates, the turnout in the presidential elections in Kazakhstan was 69.43%. In total, more than eight million voters took part in the voting.

Presidential elections were held in Kazakhstan on November 20. Polling stations in settlements closed at 20:00 local time (17:00 Moscow time).

“In total, 8,299,501 voters received ballots, which is 69.43% of the number included in the voting lists“, – said the deputy chairman of the Central Election Commission of the Republic Konstantin Petrov.

According to him, most voters voted in the Zhetysu region – 81.42% of voters came to the polls there. The residents of Alma-Ata voted least of all – only 28.72% of the list got votes there.
