MPs Su.Batbold, S.Demberel, D.Sumyabazar, A.Tleikhan, Ch.Ulaan, J.Erdenebat, and L.Tsog have developed the draft law to make amendments into parliamentary election law of Mongolia, and addressed the Government of Mongolia and General Election Committee in order to receive point of views on the draft law, it is reported.
It has been publicly demanded since 2012 parliament election to revise and upgrade parliamentary election law in alignment with principles of the constitution.
There are numerous opinions and suggestions in relation to reform the constituency allocation, personnel of election committee, to ensure election results with manual counting of paper ballot, to take an immediate solution of disputable matters about election results and to enforce those who violate election law to carry responsibility.
Thus, Chairman of MPParty initiated the meeting titled “National Concession” in September, attended by delegates from 22 political parties. As a result, a working group which consists of 32 representatives from all parties was established. Now, the working group is about to submit the draft law to revise current election law. It is believed that the draft law reflects public, political parties and NGOs’ opinions and point of views. However, Democratic Party was not involved in developing the draft law.
Following fundamental adjustments made into the draft law:
- Develop the draft law based fundamentals of current election law.
- Retain current election structure in the draft law and change current 26 constituency structure in order to prevent negative effects of competition of candidates from same party in same constituency.
- Adopt electoral system with 48 constituencies and as a result, number of candidates from same party for the election is limited to 48.
- Rules that only public service and administration staffs must be included in the working groups of election committee are changed according to the draft law. A candidate can suggest observers from one’s party as a member of the working groups
- Decisions made at meetings attended by not less than two a third of election committee members are effective despite no signature approvals provided by Chairman or Secretary General of Election Committee.
- Assure online registration and voting of Mongolian citizens who live abroad.
- Conduct manual counting of paper ballots alongside with automatic counting system under observation such as video live presentation of counting to independents observers and the public.
- Terminate reemployment rights of public servants or statesmen who violated election law.
