The proposals are motivated by the fact that elections of deputies to the State Council of the Republic of Kazakhstan are scheduled for the second Sunday of September.
The corresponding decision was made at a meeting of the Federation Council Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Building, reports the press service of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Kovitidi’s proposals, in particular, suggest recommending that the Russian government consider allocating additional budgetary allocations to improve the material and technical base necessary to organize the issuance of Russian passports to residents of Crimea and the federal city of Sevastopol.
In her speech at the committee meeting, the senator drew the attention of the Federal Migration Service to the need to develop a working schedule for issuing passports.
“The total number of voters in the Republic of Kazakhstan is 1 million 540 thousand people, and as of May 20, 2014, the number of passports issued in the Republic of Kazakhstan is 326 thousand 381. In this regard, it is necessary to speed up and systematize this work by establishing specific deadlines for issuing passports to residents of the Republic of Crimea “Olga Kovitidi noted.
“The Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Building, Andrey Aleksandrovich Klishas, and members of the Committee unanimously supported the Crimean senator from the executive body of state power of the Republic of Kazakhstan Olga Kovitidi on the need to resolve this issue,” the press service of the Council of Ministers said in a statement.
