According to the results of a survey conducted in the third quarter of 2026, the share of Kazakhstanis who are already contributing or are ready to personally contribute to upholding the principle of “Law and Order” has increased to 41.7%, El.kz reports citing the Kazakhstan Institute for Public Development.
In the previous quarter, 37.4% of respondents expressed such willingness. At the same time, 76.8% of survey participants said they support the “Law and Order” principle.
On average, respondents rated the personal importance of this principle at 4.47 out of five. A further 44.1% of those surveyed said they had observed positive changes in its implementation, compared with 41.5% in the second quarter.
The survey showed that many residents of Kazakhstan associate compliance with the law with personal responsibility. Thus, 41.5% of respondents believe that the state and citizens should bear equal responsibility for upholding the rule of law and maintaining public order.
Another 34.3% believe that primary responsibility rests with each individual citizen. These findings indicate that support for the principle is gradually moving beyond a general positive assessment and is increasingly accompanied by a willingness to contribute to its implementation.
Overall, 55.4% of respondents said they were familiar, to varying degrees, with the “Law and Order” principle. Among the areas considered most important by citizens, the protection of women and children was cited most frequently.
This area was identified by 38.6% of respondents. Combating financial fraud was selected by 37.3%, while countering drug-related crime and extremism was identified by 35.6%.
Young people were somewhat more likely to report positive changes. Among survey participants aged 18 to 28, 46.2% noted visible or specific improvements.
The study conducted by the Kazakhstan Institute for Public Development used face-to-face interviews carried out from 1 to 16 August. A total of 2,400 residents of Kazakhstan aged 18 and above participated in the survey.
