In this regard, the regional election commission, together with the Department of Internal Policy of the Akimat of Zhambyl region, posted audio-video clips on the air of leading regional television and radio channels, on demonstration screens installed in public places.To date, in accordance with the sketches of the external banners of the Central Election Commission in the region, 250 pieces of information banners have been made and work is underway to place them in prominent places in the settlements of the region.In addition, the CEC noted that appeals to voters and other information and explanatory materials are regularly published on the pages of local media and on the Internet pages of territorial election commissions.3. Member of the regional election commission Zhamalov Talgat Salkanovich made a speech "On the work on registration of proxies of candidates for President of the Republic of Kazakhstan and verification of signatures in support of the candidate for President of the Republic of Kazakhstan".He said that in accordance with the Constitutional Law "On Elections in the Republic of Kazakhstan", the collection of signatures in support of a presidential candidate is organized by authorized persons and is issued by subscription lists issued by the CEC of the Republic of Kazakhstan no later than five days after checking the candidate for compliance with the requirements established by the Constitution and the Law "Elections in the Republic of Kazakhstan".In accordance with the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Elections in the Republic of Kazakhstan" and the resolution of the CEC, a sample subscription list was approved. Each subscription list has an ordinal number and consists of 20 lines intended for collecting signatures of voters.The authorized person must be a citizen of the Republic of Kazakhstan, must not be a member of any election commission, a person holding the position of a political civil servant.The Election Commission, after the registration of authorized persons, issues them the appropriate certificates. The person collecting signatures, when collecting signatures, must present on the corresponding signature sheet a copy of the certificate of registration of the candidate's authorized representative with a personal signature. The person collecting signatures must necessarily put his signature on the signature sheet.The completed signature lists for collecting signatures in support of the presidential candidate are submitted to the territorial election commission, which, within 10 days, verifies the authenticity of signatures with the involvement of passport service employees, draws up an appropriate protocol on the results of verifying the authenticity of signatures in support of the presidential candidate and sends it to the Central Election Commission.The resolution adopted at the meeting of the Central Election Commission provides for shortening the time for issuing signature lists and verifying the authenticity of signatures in support of the presidential candidate. This measure is recommended for organizing the issuance of signature lists in order to increase the time of participants in the electoral process to collect signatures in support of a presidential candidate and reduce the time required for verifying the authenticity of signatures.Thus, according to the resolution of the CEC of the Republic of Kazakhstan, signature lists for collecting signatures in support of a presidential candidate are issued within two calendar days after checking his compliance with the requirements established by the Constitution and Constitutional Law. The deadlines for verification by territorial election commissions of the authenticity of signatures in support of a presidential candidate have been reduced from 10 to 5 calendar days.The signatures of voters in the subscription lists are recognized as unreliable for the following reasons:1) in case of incomplete voter data according to the subscription list;2) made in pencil;3) bear traces of erasure or other method of forgery;4) performed on behalf of the voter by other persons;5) performed by a person more than once in the subscription lists for a particular candidate;6) performed by one person for several persons;7) performed for deceased persons;8) performed by a person who does not have an active voting right;9) if there is a written application of the voter withdrawing his signature.The Territorial Election Commission warned that it may recognize a voter's signature as unreliable in other cases if it is established that the signature was obtained in violation of the requirements of the law.4.
