By the ruling of the administrative court, blogger Kairat Abdrakhman was fined for polling about the upcoming elections to the Mazhilis of Parliament and maslihats. In a poll published on the VKontakte social network on November 9, 2020, the blogger was interested in the opinion of subscribers, whether they trust the elections and what they think of the deputies of the city maslihat. This became the basis for the initiation of administrative proceedings on the charge of Kairat Abdrakhman in violation of the conditions for conducting a public opinion poll related to the elections.
