  • Factors and Trends of Increasing Role of Mass Media in Democratic Elections in Kazakhstan
    Media Watch 11 (2) © Media Watch 11 (2) 394-407, 2020 ISSN 0976-0911 | E-ISSN 2249-8818 DOI: 10.15655/mw/2020/v11i2/195665 Factors and Trends of Increasing Role of Mass Media in Democratic Elections in Kazakhstan AKHMETOVA LAILA1, LIFANOVA TATIYANA2, VEREVKIN ALEKSEY3, SHOROKHOV DMITRIY4, & LIFANOV SERGEY5 1,2,3,5Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Kazakhstan 4International IT University, Kazakhstan The article discusses some features of information technologies used by Kazakh media during election campaigns of different years. The purpose of this work is to analyze the peculiarities and factors behind the increasing role of the Kazakh media in the process of democratic elections. The article shows that since 1991- 1996 transitional phases, Kazakhstan has been undergoing an intensive procedure of incorporating the media into its constantly evolving democratic set-up and putting up a media monitoring system of the political process in place. Kazakhstan mass media has successfully coped with this task bringing in changes within and taking into account public mentality and technologies at hand. The article presents a comparative analysis of the use of various information technologies in Kazakh election campaigns of different years, with particular attention on the presidential election of 2019. Keywords: Democracy, elections, Kazakhstan, mass media, political processes, technology In modern Kazakhstan, as in all democracies worldwide, elections, being the dominant fundamental of the political process, determine the direction and trends of political development. Unlike many Western countries where the tradition of political competition has a long history, Kazakhstan has adapted this process quite quickly. The parliamentary elections (1990) and first presidential (1991) showed to Kazakh people that legitimization of power through the expression of the will of the majority opens a window of possibility for the society to have control over governance through transparency and strength of publicity.
