Kazakhstan's 5th electoral district

The Electoral district No. 5 (Kazakh: №5 сайлау округі, romanized: №5 sailau okrugı; Russian: Избирательный округ №5) is a single-mandate territorial constituency in Kazakhstan, represented in the lower chamber Mäjilis of the Parliament. It is located in the city of Almaty and includes the districts of Bostandyq, Medeu and Nauryzbai.

The constituency was originally formed for the 2004 legislative election and existed until being abolished in 2007. However, it has been reestablished in 2022 and is currently represented by deputy Baqytjan Bazarbek (Independent) since March 2023.

The Electoral district No. 5 is situated in the northeastern part of Almaty and includes the city districts of Bostandyq, Medeu and Nauryzbai. It shares borders with No. 3 (Almaty) to the northwest and No. 4 (Almaty) to the northeast, along with No. 12 (Almaty Region) to the southwest and No. 11 (Almaty Region) to the southeast.

The Electoral district No. 5 was formed for the 2004 legislative election as a result of redistribution within the boundaries of Almaty, and Turarbek Asanov served as deputy from 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 Electoral district No. 5 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 made its debut in the 2023 legislative election, with Baqytjan Bazarbek becoming the elected representative of the constituency.
