The Shymkent City Mäslihat (Kazakh: Шымкент қалалық мәслихаты, romanized: Şymkent qalalyq mäslihaty) is a unicameral legislature of the city of Shymkent. The councillors of the City Mäslihat are elected concurrently with the MPs of the Mazhilis.
The City Mäslihat is composed of 29 councillors who are represented by single-member constituency and are elected by a secret ballot every 5 years according to the Clause 2 of Article 86 of the Constitution of Kazakhstan, Section VIII "Local state government and self-government".[1] However, on 23 May 2018, it was announced that all members of Mäslihat bodies will be elected through proportional representation.[2] The law was approved on 29 June 2018 through a constitutional amendment and came into force starting from 1 January 2019.
