Draft election law needs more discussion

The MPP caucus discussed a draft election law on Monday and decided to discuss the issue with the DP caucus.

The issue that the MPP caucus believes needs more discussion is the transferring of candidates between the 48 parliamentary seats to be contested in electoral districts and the 28 at-large seats to be determined by the proportion of votes that a party receives.

MPP caucus chairman B.Enkhtuvshin told journalists that the caucus suggested passing the draft election law this week. He said the MPP caucus has sent its suggestion to the DP caucus regarding the transfer issue.

B.Enkhtuvshin stated that the two caucuses should clarify the issue. He explained that 76 candidates will be listed on the ballot for each party, and party votes will be counted through the candidates. Therefore, it needs to be decided which 48 candidates will represent electoral districts and which 28 will serve at large.
