Some highlights of the amendments include an article stating that a person found guilty of a corrupt practice shall lose their right to be nominated in elections. Confirming the new regulation, head of the General Election Committee Ts.Sodnomtseren said that "The Parliamentary Election to be held in 2020 will not allow people who are convicted of corruption charges by court to participate".
The amendments to the Election Law enables the 2020 Parliamentary Election to be held with plurality-at-large voting system, also known as multiple non-transferable vote. 76 Parliament seats will be distributed into each district and aimag as electoral constituencies across the country and the number of seats in each constituency to be determined before February 2020.
