Kazakhstan holds referendum on first nuclear power plant amid colorful voter turnout
Today, Kazakhstan is holding a historic referendum on the construction of its first nuclear power plant. Polls opened at 6 a.m., as citizens gathered to cast their ballots on this crucial issue. However, some voters brought an unexpected twist to the occasion, Kazinform News Agency reports.
Among the crowd were individuals dressed up as popular characters, including the Joker, Deadpool, Sub-Zero, Captain America, Batman, and a dinosaur, adding a playful and surreal atmosphere to the event. Meanwhile, a participant in the Miss Universe Kazakhstan crown and another woman sporting a bathrobe with a towel wrapped around her head didn’t even raise eyebrows — a testament to the lively and diverse spirit of the day.
The referendum is seen as a pivotal moment for Kazakhstan’s energy future, but it’s clear that the creativity and personality of its citizens are also shining through.
