Parliament finalizes new bill on election www.zgm.mn
The Parliament on Friday approved the draft law on elections. According to the new draft law, a candidate must not participate in the parliamentary election if corrupted or received a criminal conviction before. The Constitutional Court of Mongolia issued a review about the provision in 2008, meaning that violating the human rights to choose and to be chosen is illegal. Therefore, the Constitutional Court may call MPP caucus regarding the decision, increasing the possibility of election law to cause controversy. Thus, women politicians demanded to increase women’s quota to 30 percent, but it retained 20 percent.
Major changes that have been made in the Election Law are the following:
• The list of voter names shall be accessible to political parties.
• Election commercials start on the day the candidates accept their official ID cards.
• By increasing election donations, citizens have been entitled to donate up to MNT five million and legal entities up to MNT 20 million.
• Offensive slander on social media is prohibited.
• Political parties can form a union and run for elections. If a majority of the parties leave the union, the alliance is considered
liquidated.
• A public servant shall be fired before January 1, 2020, if running for the parliamentary election. This does not require the discharge of directors, deputy directors of state and locally owned enterprises.
• The election term extended from 18 to 22 days.
• The voter circles a candidate equal to the number of seats in the electoral district. If not, the ballot shall be invalid.
• Migration is prohibited after February 1st of the election year.
• Mongolians living in foreign countries shall not vote for majority elections.
• Election disputes shall be resolved within the election year.
