The President’s decision to make the entire electoral schedule public is an unprecedented step for Kazakhstan’s political practice. This proposal is a thoroughly considered decision, which, if approved by the Parliament, will determine the future of Kazakhstan’s political system. The initiative on a single presidential term is a logical progression of steps already taken to finally move away from the super-presidential model. The registration procedure for political parties will be simplified, which is already contributing to the emergence of new parties, new faces in politics, and increased political competition. The new reform gives a start to the electoral cycle, which will allow a restart of the entire political system.
