GENERAL ELECTION COMMITTEE ABOUT PREPARATION FOR ELECTION

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia /MONTSAME/ Authorities of the General Election Committee (GEC) N.Luvsanjav, its head, and Ch.Sodnomtseren, a secretary, told on Monday that some 80 measures will be organized before the parliamentary election of this year.


The election will run on a basis of the revised civil registration conducted in 2011. A new achievement is that the living abroad Mongolians will be able to vote but for a political party only, not for a candidate. Their voting papers will be collected and brought to Mongolia at least 15 days prior to the voting day and be counted together with other papers.

According to these officials, the GEC addressed the Supreme Court to get explanations of 40 clauses of the new election law, "for example, the election's start and finish times when we have time zones, also the election regime must be clarified because organizing the parliamentary and the local elections at same time may put a great pressure on the election sections.”

A candidate's name will be written on 26 types of paper for each section in some 300 districts and soums.
They said a deal has been made with the U.S company to order a total of 2,500 paper counting machines, five have already arrived. Each machine costs USD 3,200. To operate them, nearly two thousand people with IT knowledge will be trained.
