Korean, American firms to supply equipment for 2012 election
The Standing Committee on State Structure postponed discussion of a draft election law on Wednesday because of a working group meeting on the subject also taking place that day.
However, the committee did discuss a draft law on local settlements’ election and a draft law on the president’s election, the latter of which was included in the law on budget stability passed by Parliament on June 24, 2010.
The draft law on local settlements’ election would regulate the balloting and tabulation of results, as well as address the financing of the election from state and local sources.
The head of the Election General Committee (EGC), N.Luvsanjav, said the 2011 state budget allocated MNT 24 billion to purchase electronic voting technology for the 2012 election. The EGC has worked with the General Authority for State Registration; Central Intelligence Service; Information, Communications Technology and Post Authority, and Communication Offices to choose voting devices.
He said that after bids were received, South Korea’s LS Cable & System and Miru Data System were chosen to supply voting equipment, and the U.S. firm ES & S LLC to supply vote tabulation equipment.
