All the big names of the Kazakh pop world have come together to create a medley entitled 'Vote for Kazakhstan (Проголосуй за Казахстан)'. The song is primary is Kazakh with a few lines in Russian. The significance of the song is that the opposition parties in Kazakhstan are calling for a boycott in the elections claiming that the surprise call for elections by president Nazarbayev hindered their chances of preparing properly. A lot of people in Kazakhstan have been accused of being apathetic to the current politics of the state. Many young people have been voicing their discontent for the current regime and their unwillingness to accept this current election as legitimate. I personally believe that because fort the first time in Kazakh history the government has invited 60 OSCE delegates to monitor the elections we might just get a positive ruling by the end of this month and if anything this song might just stir up some action among the younger crows. Election boycotts do not work in practical terms, they only work in principle. So go out and vote! (but you won't find Kazakhstan on the ballot, you'll find a dictator, communist, environmentalist, and a Patriot choose one carefully and push hard).

The song includes a forward by two of the pop singers, and here are some of the lyrics translated into English:

"You choose the right to live in a bright world.
Do not be aloof; it is you who decides your country's fate....
Your motherland's tomorrow is in your hands.
Don't be timid on the path of your life.
Shine like a flame, like the star of your country's independence.
If our unity is really strong, our star will be really high
And may our wings take us as far as we want!"
