We present a brief overview of the most popular petitions, as well as how the official petition website functions and the tasks it performs.
The material was prepared based on the analytics of DRFL expert and advisor to the Eurasian Digital Foundation Danila Bekturganov, who studied the features of registration, placement, voting of citizens and further work with petitions of government agencies.
At the moment, the top 5 includes the following appeals from citizens:
“The people of the Republic of Kazakhstan are against recycling collection and initial registration” - the petition was posted on May 10, 2024. Within two weeks, she received 50,125 votes with the required 50 thousand.
“We are against open and hidden LGBT propaganda in Kazakhstan!” - another record holder among petitions published on May 29, and already on June 9 the required 50 thousand signatures were collected.
“Ban officials from gambling” - posted on May 29, and also received the required number of votes in record time. The Ministry of Tourism and Sports has already reacted positively to this idea.
“Turn Back Time” (time zone) - posted on April 20, received votes on June 7.
“For income growth! For the development of industry” - published on May 25, and has currently collected 22,071 signatures with the required 50 thousand, but nevertheless, the rest of the appeals are coming with a noticeable lag.
Petitions that received the required number of votes have already been sent to government agencies for consideration.
As we see, Kazakhstanis are most concerned about issues of a socio-economic and ethical-cultural nature, although the methods of collecting votes for some petitions leave questions.
Even if you look only at the top five petitions, you can form a definite opinion about the most pressing issues for Kazakhstanis.
According to the rules of the portal, not all requests can be left - petitions undergo initial moderation, and a number of topics are prohibited there. In particular:
• Violating the rights and freedoms of man and citizen;
• Encroaching on the constitutional order, public order, health and morals of the population;
• Independence and sovereignty of Kazakhstan, as well as state borders;
• State symbols, language;
• Other issues related to state and security.
According to the expert, at this stage it is difficult to assess the effectiveness of the official electronic petition tool in Kazakhstan. Civil monitoring of the portal, participation as applicants and signatories, evaluation of effectiveness and identification of weaknesses are required.
Electronic petitions are a public policy and communication tool that engages citizens in politics during the inter-election period.
What is important is not so much the result of influencing the authorities, but the initiation of dialogue within society and communication between groups of citizens united by a common theme.
This helps to increase political literacy, creating an active and motivated civil society, DRFL expert Danila Bekturganov is sure.
