The Electoral district No. 1 (Kazakh: №1 сайлау округі, romanized: №1 sailau okrugı; Russian: Избирательный округ №1) is a single-mandate territorial constituency in Kazakhstan, represented in the lower chamber Mäjilis of the Parliament. It is located in the capital city of Astana and includes the districts of Almaty and Baiqonyr.

The constituency was originally formed for the

Däulet Turlyhanov (Amanat) since 2023.[1]

Geography

The Electoral district No. 1 is situated in the northwestern part of Astana and includes the city districts of Almaty and Baiqonyr. The constituency shares borders with No. 9 (Akmola Region) to the northwest and No. 2 (Astana) to the southeast.[2]

History

The Electoral district No. 1 was formed for the

2007 constitutional amendment, which led to the abolition of all constituencies as part of the transition from a mixed-member majoritarian representation to a fully party-list proportional representation system.[4][5][6] The change affected the composition of all seats in the lower chamber Mäjilis of the Kazakh Parliament beginning with the 2007 legislative election.[7][8]

On 24 December 2022, the Electoral district No. 1 was reestablished by the

Däulet Turlyhanov becoming the elected representative of the constituency.[13]
