This assessment reviews and comments on “Decree Number 633 of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan On Elections of Akims of Aul (Rural) Districts, Auls (Villages), and Villages”. This assessment is based on an unofficial English translation. This review has taken into consideration the “Law on Elections in the Republic of Kazakhstan”, as Articles 10, 55, and 63 of Presidential Decree Number 633 apply certain provisions of the Law on Elections. However, this assessment is not an assessment of the Law on Elections. This assessment considers the Law on Elections only to the extent that Presidential Decree Number 633 incorporates the Law on Elections.
