What Changed on July 1, 2026 Since July 1, 2026, the Constitution has been in force. New wording on digital rights and enhanced protection upon detention (48 hours instead of 72) now apply. The right to submit appeals continues, while petitions follow a separate process under the Administrative Procedural Code. Data snapshot: 2026-08-06 23:37:59.149201+00:00 · Adilet Legal Information System What We Already Know About the 2026 Kurultai Elections On July 1, 2026, after the Constitution entered into force, the President signed the decree calling the first Kurultai elections. The Kurultai deputy elections are scheduled for August 23, 2026; it is already known that the Kurultai will be a unicameral body of 145 deputies elected by proportional representation. Data snapshot: 2026-08-06 23:37:59.149201+00:00 · Adilet Legal Information System What Digital Rights Mean in the New Constitution The 2026 Constitution expressly protects personal data and the secrecy of communications transmitted using digital technologies. The legal grounds for processing data, accessing communications, and restricting information remain defined by law; biometric data are regulated under personal-data legislation rather than named separately in the Constitution. Data snapshot: 2026-08-06 23:37:59.149201+00:00 · Adilet Legal Information System What Rights a Person Has Upon Detention If detained, establish the reason and actual time, request a lawyer and retain the documents. The 48-hour limit operates together with procedural law; the type of proceeding and a person’s status may affect the next steps. Data snapshot: 2026-08-06 23:37:59.149201+00:00 · Adilet Legal Information System Constitutional Court The Constitutional Court is an independent body of constitutional review. A citizen may challenge a normative legal act that directly affects their constitutional rights, but the constitutional law sets admissibility conditions for that route. Data snapshot: 2026-08-06 23:37:59.149201+00:00 · Adilet Legal Information System Key Changes in the New Constitution The new Constitution preserves the foundations of statehood but changes the architecture of power and strengthens citizens' rights. Key changes: transition to a unicameral parliament, introduction of the Vice President, expansion of digital rights, and strengthened mechanisms of popular oversight.
