Article 57 of the Kazakhstan Constitution explicitly grants Parliament Chambers the power to appoint members of the Central Electoral Commission, establishing the commission's existence and core mandate at the constitutional level rather than by statute or regulation alone. This constitutional grounding satisfies COMM.1 at the highest tier (score 2).

“appoints two members of the Central Electoral Commission”

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Art. 28 addresses pre-election campaign rights and media access — it does not establish any commission structure, commissioner term protections, removal grounds, or staggered appointment cycles. COMM.3 requires statutory definition of commissioner terms and removal protections; this section concerns campaign conduct rules only.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 31 addresses the registration and rights of proxies for candidates and political parties during electoral campaigns. It contains no provisions regarding the composition, appointment, or political balance of the election commission itself. The section is procedural (defining proxy qualifications and authorities) and does not establish any statutory framework for ensuring the commission is politically balanced, appointed through multi-branch processes, subject to supermajority confirmation, or independent.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: The section addresses election timing, candidate nomination, and akim (mayor) election procedures, but contains no language establishing an independent funding line, budget mechanism, or protection against mid-cycle reallocation. The text focuses exclusively on procedural rules for holding elections and candidate requirements, not on the financial autonomy or budgetary structure of election commissions.

Article 33(3) explicitly prohibits both direct foreign-source funding ('international organizations and international public associations, foreign state bodies, foreign legal entities and citizens') and indirect/pass-through participation ('any their direct or indirect participation') in election financing. This statutory prohibition is comprehensive and covers the full scope of FUND.3.

“Financing of elections in the Republic on the part of international organizations and international public associations, foreign state bodies, foreign legal entities and citizens as well as stateless persons, any their direct or indirect participation in financing of elections in the Republic of Kazakhstan shall be forbidden.”

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section regulates the procedural timing and nomination requirements for extraordinary elections of maslikhat deputies and akim elections. It establishes territorial election commissions' administrative duties (calling elections, setting timelines, reviewing candidate qualifications) but contains no provisions addressing career staff protections, merit-based employment, civil-service classification, or any personnel safeguards. The section is silent on the institutional structure protecting election staff from political displacement.

The statute grants the CEC authority to organize and conduct training and seminars for electoral process participants, but does not mandate training as a requirement for officials or poll workers, nor does it specify content standards or frequency thresholds. The language is permissive (organize/conduct) rather than mandatory (shall ensure all officials receive), leaving implementation to administrative discretion rather than statutory obligation.

“organize and conduct training of participants in the electoral process; conduct seminars with representatives of political parties and other participants in the electoral process on the organization and conduct of elections”

The section mandates certification of electronic-voting equipment but delegates all substantive criteria, evaluators, timeline, and public-comment procedures to external legislation ('in compliance with the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan') without codifying them in the Electoral Law itself. The section does not establish a statutory framework for the certification process—only a requirement that certification occur elsewhere.

“The software and hardware means to be used in the electronic electoral system shall be certificated in compliance with the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.”

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 72 addresses signature collection procedures and authenticity verification for Senate candidate support, not decertification grounds or procedures for election vendors, equipment, or systems. The section governs candidate registration disqualification (denial of registration if >1% of signatures are inauthentic) under an administrative election process, not vendor oversight, certification revocation, or election administration system decertification.
