Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of electoral systems during the election of deputies to the Mazhilis of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Based on the study of the laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan, many normative legal acts regulating the election procedure in Kazakhstan, the author conducted a study of the evolution of electoral legislation. The Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan of August 30, 1995, and the constitutional law of the Republic of Kazakhstan on elections have undergone significant changes, which are associated with the process of democratization of the political system and the gradual transition from the majoritarian electoral system to a proportional system of elections of deputies of the Mazhilis of Parliament. In the article, the author, relying on the study of monographic literature, the experience of foreign countries, conducts a study of the features of the proportional electoral system. The author reveals the differences between open and closed types of a proportional system, which depends on the methods of forming party lists, as well as the possibilities of voting by voters considering different forms of party lists. In the article, the author gives his vision of improving electoral systems during the election of deputies to the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
