SOME KAZAKH ELECTORAL COMMISSIONS WANT PROTECTION AGAINST SLANDER
Members of election commissions at the electoral district, raion, and polling-station level in Almaty have proposed that a draft law on elections include provisions to protect the honor and dignity of commission members against unfounded accusations, khabar.kz reported on 21 July. Commission members gathered that day to discuss and suggest alterations to a draft law on elections. Reportedly, Central Election Commission (CEC) Chairman Zagipa Balieva, who attended the meeting, approved the proposal. Participants in the meeting, which was organized by the electoral commission of Almaty's Auezov Raion, also called for more rights for the media in election campaigns, for electoral commissions to be enlarged, and for the rights and responsibilities of election observers and political-party representatives in election commissions to be spelled out. Balieva told khabar.kz that the CEC plans to organize more such meetings to collect further recommendations from polling-station commissions. BB
