Geography Constituency No. 1 was situated in the northwestern part of Astana and included the city districts of Almaty and Baiqonyr. The constituency shared borders with No. 9 (Akmola Region) to the northwest and No. 2 (Astana) to the southeast.
History The Constituency No. 1 was formed for the 2004 legislative election as a result of redistribution within the boundaries of Astana, and Beken Älimjanov served as the representative of the constituency. From there, the electoral district continued to exist until its dissolution following the 2007 constitutional amendment, which led to the abolition of all constituencies as part of the transition from a mixed-member majoritarian representation to a fully party-list proportional representation system. The change affected the composition of all seats in the lower chamber Mäjilis of the Kazakh Parliament beginning with the 2007 legislative election.
On 24 December 2022, the Constituency No. 1 was reestablished by the Central Election Commission, which came into effect on 1 January 2023 as a result of the 2022 amendment. The adoption of this amendment marked the reintroduction of a mixed electoral system for electing Mäjilis deputies, with the use of numbered constituencies being reinstated for the first time since 2004. It returned in the 2023 legislative election, with Däulet Turlyhanov becoming its elected representative.
