Within Kazakhstan, most polling stations will open at 7:00 a.m. However, 92 stations across the country are scheduled to start voting earlier, at 6:00 a.m. These stations are primarily located at military bases, Kazinform reported on March 10.
According to Central Referendum Commission Chair Nurlan Abdirov, territorial commissions approved the earlier opening times after reviewing requests from the respective locations. Such polling stations are present in nearly all regions of the country.
The Foreign Ministry announced the closure of polling stations abroad in 10 countries due to the security situation in the Middle East.
