Turgankulov: Our key objective is to hold elections as per international principles

“The oncoming election is a crucial political event in the country’s life. Correspondingly, all the participants of the election process will be imposed great responsibility. Our key objective is to ensure legitimacy of the elections, i.e. their full compliance with the international legislation and generally recognized international principles,” CEC Chairman Kuandyk Turgankulov said opening the conference.

The meeting participants are expected to discuss the financial aspects of the elections, the issues of effective interaction of election commissions, local executive authorities, non-governmental organizations and civil society institutions as well as strict observance of electoral legislation by all the participants of the election process.
