"People have been casting their votes since early morning. We will know the exact number of those who voted after the voting is complete. There is only one polling station in Astana city," Ambassador Bocharnikov told Kazinform correspondent.
The Russian diplomat noted that Russia always tries to make sure that the elections pass in a special atmosphere.
