'''Parliamentary elections''' were held in [[Kazakhstan]] on 20 March 2016. The date was set by president [[Nursultan Nazarbayev]] on 20 January 2016, when he dissolved the [[Mazhilis]] after it had requested dissolution on 13 January, with the reason cited being the economic crisis caused by low oil prices. Normally, the term of the Mazhilis would have expired in Autumn 2016.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.rferl.org/content/kazakhstan-parliament-dissolved-new-elections/27499464.html|title=Nazarbaev Dissolves Kazakh Parliament, Sets Date For Early Elections|date=20 January 2016|publisher=[[Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty]]|accessdate=21 January 2016}}</ref>

==Electoral system==
The 98 directly-elected members of the Mazhilis were elected from a single nationwide constituency by [[proportional representation]] with a 7% [[electoral threshold]]. Seats were allocated using the [[largest remainder method]]. If parties had an equal largest remainder, the party that was registered first was awarded the seat. If only one party crossed the threshold, the party with the second highest number of votes was to be awarded at least two seats.<ref>[http://www.ipu.org/parline-e/reports/2165_B.htm Electoral system] IPU</ref> A further nine seats were elected by the [[Assembly of People of Kazakhstan|Assembly of People]], a body selected by the President.<ref>[http://www.electionguide.org/elections/id/513/ Republic of Kazakhstan] IFES</ref>

==Conduct==
Observers from the [[Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe]]'s [[Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights]] (OSCE/ODIHR), the OSCE [[Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe|Parliamentary Assembly]] (PA) and the [[Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe]] (PACE) announced in their joint press release that the elections had been "efficiently organised with some progress noted, but they indicated that Kazakhstan still has a considerable way to go in meeting its OSCE commitments for democratic elections". The statement added: "The legal framework restricts fundamental civil and political rights, and comprehensive reform is required."<ref>{{cite web|title=Kazakhstan elections efficiently organized, some progress, still considerable way to go to meet OSCE election commitments, international observers say|url=http://www.osce.org/odihr/elections/kazakhstan/229136|website=osce.org}}</ref>
