# Snap election returns Tokayev with 81.31 percent to a single seven-year term

Date: 2022

## The fact

On 20 November 2022 a snap presidential election returned [Kassym-Jomart Tokayev](/people/kassym-jomart-tokayev) with 81.31 percent to a single seven-year term running to 2029. ODIHR’s 14 July 2023 final report did not treat the ballot as a genuine contest of power.

## Context

He ran. The CEC tabulated. ODIHR observed. This is not a rebate of January 2022.

Referendum 5 June; election 20 November 2022; ODIHR final 14 July 2023. Keep Snap election returns Tokayev with 81.31 percent to a single seven-year term on 2022-11-20 separate from neighbouring succession, CSTO, shoot-to-kill, 238-list, and snap-election instruments.

The president of Kazakhstan is head of state and commander-in-chief. He can declare an emergency, invite a CSTO contingent, and order lethal force. He does not write ODIHR final reports, does not sit as a UNGA teller, and a Prosecutor-General list is not converted here into a unique UCDP integer.

## Evidence and sources

CEC Kazakhstan carries the official instrument or communique. OSCE/ODIHR records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is electoral integrity: a completed 81.31 percent certification ODIHR did not read as a genuine contest.

## What is established and what is not

Established: CEC recorded 81.31 percent on 20 November 2022; ODIHR’s 14 July 2023 report did not treat it as a genuine contest of power.

Not established: That ODIHR authenticated a competitive transfer.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

The CEC tabulated. ODIHR did not treat it as a genuine contest.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Snap election returns Tokayev with 81.31 percent to a single seven-year term, not a later speech about Snap election returns Tokayev with 81.31 percent to a single seven-year term.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Snap election returns Tokayev with 81.31 percent to a single seven-year term on 2022-11-20 is not a licence to treat every later CEC Kazakhstan communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Snap election returns Tokayev with 81.31 percent to a single seven-year term into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He ran and was certified. The CEC tabulated. ODIHR did not treat it as a genuine contest. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
