The Majilis deputy noted that for the first time, the preamble to the new draft Constitution includes provisions on education, science, and innovation. The Constitution clearly and precisely outlines the funding policy for this sector.

The person is at the heart of public policy: opinions of deputies, lawyers and political scientists on the main direction of the new Constitution During the "Referendum-2026" online marathon, Azat Peruashev, deputy of the Majilis, head of the Ak Zhol party faction, Indira Aubakirova, director of the Institute of Legislation and Legal Information of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and political scientist Burikhan Nurmukhamedov shared their opinions. "Anything done in our state should be evaluated by the criterion of "whether it is in the interests of the person or not?" This means that, whether it is the authorities or civil society institutions, the decision should always be evaluated from the perspective of whether it harms the life of a person. The person, his rights and freedoms should be at the heart of our entire life in Kazakhstan," said Indira Aubakirova. In turn, Azat Peruashev drew attention to a number of important innovations in the new Constitution. In particular, the ban on eviction from housing without a court decision, as well as the right of a citizen to demand compensation for damage caused by the actions of state bodies or officials. "For the first time, the concept of advocacy was introduced in the Constitution. In fact, this document is aimed at the individual. It strengthens the rights of citizens in their relations with state bodies, including dishonest officials," said Azat Peruashev. At the same time, the Majilis emphasized that much depends on the citizens themselves, and how prepared they are to protect their constitutional rights is important. Political scientist Burikhan Nurmukhamedov also expressed confidence that citizens and political parties will most effectively use the rights and freedoms granted in the Constitution to protect and promote their interests and develop the country.

The new Constitution of Kazakhstan will include a new tool for the accelerated development of individual regions. How this mechanism will accelerate the regional economy, Majilis deputies explained during the Referendum-2026 online marathon. Mazhilis deputy Askhat Rakhimzhanov said that this mechanism is primarily aimed at attracting additional foreign investment to the regions. According to him, this will allow for the effective realization of the potential of each region, taking into account its specifics. This approach has a multiplier effect: not only a single city will benefit from development, but also its surrounding territories and additional economic sectors. "As for security issues, it should be noted that they are not intended to be considered separately. The Constitution clearly establishes the territorial integrity and indivisibility of the country. The structure of state power remains unchanged. At the same time, the adoption of appropriate constitutional laws for cities of rapid development is envisaged. All decisions are made within the existing legal framework and under the control of state bodies. The special legal regime is aimed at creating additional conditions for their development," concluded Askhat Rakhimzhanov.

For the first time, the draft of the new Constitution of Kazakhstan proposes to establish a norm of state support for volunteerism. The relevant amendments were discussed by deputies of the Mazhilis of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan during the online marathon "Referendum-2026". According to Majilis deputy Vera Kim, the constitutionalization of volunteerism is not only a recognition of its importance, but also a guarantee of state support for the long-term development of the volunteer movement. "Thus, by raising the volunteer movement to the level of the Constitution, we will create conditions for every citizen to feel involved in the development of the state. This will contribute to the formation of a more sustainable development of society," added deputy Islam Sunkar. In turn, MP Azhar Sagandykova noted that volunteering is not limited to young people. According to her, today the "silver volunteers" movement is actively developing - these older representatives make a significant contribution to supporting socially vulnerable groups, mentoring, and solving family problems.
