Claim 5: “The turnout in the elections of deputies of the Kurultai (unicameral parliament) of Kazakhstan was 65.37% by 4:00 p.m. local time (11:00 a.m.GMT)”
DISPUTED
The claim states turnout was 65.37% by 4:00 p.m. However, two independent web sources (Caliber.Az and another news report) explicitly state that as of 12:00 (noon) local time, the turnout was 37.05%. While 4:00 p.m. data is not explicitly provided in the evidence, the 37.05% figure at noon contradicts the trajectory toward 65% in a way that suggests the claim's specific number is inaccurate based on the available reporting for that date.
