Abstract
According to the 1995 Constitution, which was amended in 1998, the Republic of Kazakhstan is a democratic, secular, legal and social state (Constitution of 30/8/1995 as amended by Act 284 of 7/10/1998, hereafter Const). The Head of State is directly elected by the people for a term of seven years. Although the Constitution provides that no person may serve more than two terms, the current President was re-elected in 2005, after having already served for 16 years (Art 42 (4) Const).
