**To register as a candidate for the presidency of Kyrgyzstan, it is necessary to collect at least 30,000 voter signatures. The Central Commission for Elections and Holding Referendums (CEC) has clarified the procedure for collecting them through the Tunduk state electronic services portal.**

According to the legislation, signatures can be collected in electronic format using a cloud digital signature or on paper signature sheets.

> Electronic collection of signatures is regulated by the provision approved by the CEC on **September 23, 2026**. For this purpose, the "Signature Collection" automated information system has been developed, operating through the Tunduk portal.

Voters undergo electronic authorization and confirm their support for the chosen candidate. After that, the system automatically registers the relevant data.

> Authorized representatives of candidates can track the number of collected signatures, generate signature sheets, and view information about voters who have expressed their support.

The system also provides statistics broken down by age and region. The general list of registered signatures contains the sequence number, surname and name of the voter, region, and the date of signature confirmation.

According to the Kyzmat state institution, the number of Tunduk portal users **exceeds 3.6 million people**.
