{{Politics of Kazakhstan}}
The '''Mazhilis''' ({{lang-kk|Мәжіліс}}, also transliterated as '''Majilis'''; "Assembly" in [[Kazakh language|Kazakh]]) is the lower house of the [[bicameral]] [[Parliament of Kazakhstan]], known as the ''Parlamenti'', in the [[Government of Kazakhstan]]. The upper house of Parliament is the [[Senate of Kazakhstan]]. There are 107 seats (98+9). Members of Parliament are elected to five year terms.<ref name=PARLIMENT>[http://www.parlam.kz/en/ Official Majlis Website]</ref>

==Brief history==
In the first election under the new parliamentary structure, all seats in both houses of parliament were contested in December 1995; runoff elections filled twenty-three seats in the Majlis for which the initial vote was inconclusive. International observers reported procedural violations in the Majlis voting. The new parliament, which was seated in January 1996, included sixty-eight Kazak and thirty-one Russian deputies; even ten deputies were women.{{Citation needed|date=February 2007}}
