On 21 October 2020, election date was scheduled for the
Aktobe Regional Mäslihat along with other local races. This came following the implementation of the law in 2018 which allowed for the local mäslihat seats to be elected through
party-list proportional representation. At the
Nur Otan's party conference held on 17 November 2020, a party-list consisting of 50 candidates to the mäslihat were approved. On 8 December 2020, Arkadiy Ni, the Regional Mäslihat councillor and candidate for the Nur Otan party was arrested on the suspicion of committing a criminal offense against a person. As a result, he was expelled from the party. == Parties ==
