We see that the majority of the population supports amendments to the Constitution, but since the voice of every citizen is important, it is necessary to strengthen the work on informing," the deputy summed up.
According to the results of the latest sociological survey, more than 72% of the population supported the referendum. This was stated by the expert KISD Zhaksybek Zhienaliev.
"This is a good indicator, there is a high political activity of our citizens. In Kazakhstan, more than 11 million people can take part in the republican referendum, most of them are young people. That is, many Kazakhstan citizens will make their choice for the first time and contribute to making our country a fair and developed state. We can say with full confidence that the constitutional reform carried out through a referendum will increase the chances of citizens to participate in the governance of the country," said the KISD expert.
Recall that the republican referendum on amendments to the Constitution will be held in Kazakhstan on June 5 this year.
