Amendments to Kazakhstan's constitution allowing the head of state to announce early presidential elections came into force on Thursday.
Kazakhstan's lower house of parliament passed the bill on Wednesday, and on Thursday it was published by state media and entered into law.
The move came after Kazakhstan's President Nursultan Nazarbayev rejected on Monday a referendum prolonging the president's term until 2020.
