Kazakhs Vote In Key Test of Democracy

Summary/Abstract: Previously seen as being of minor importance, local elections to city, district, and provincial councils have assumed major prominence this year. The vote, which was held on 20 September, comes after nearly two years of increased political tension and is being seen as a gauge of the democratic intentions of the authorities, who soon are due to present a new election law to parliament.
