How voting will take place during presidential elections and referendum in Kyrgyzstan

Kyrgyzstan will hold early presidential elections and a referendum on the form of government on Jan. 10. Citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic over 18 years old who have submitted biometric data will be able to vote in the elections.

At the polling stations, two ballots will be issued, one for the presidential elections, which will be white, the second for the referendum, blue. Also, two automatic ballot boxes will be installed for the referendum and for the presidential elections.

The voters will choose the form of government of the Kyrgyz Republic: presidential, parliamentary against all.

Previously, there were 18 candidates, but today one of the contenders, Rashid Tagaev, applied to the CEC to revoke the documents for participation in the elections. Thus, the voters will elect a president among 17 candidates.
