Parliamentary elections are scheduled to be held in Mongolia on 28 June 2024 to determine the composition of the State Great Khural.[1] 

Background

The next election is scheduled to be held no later than June 2024. The current government's legitimacy was questioned during the 2022 protests after a corruption scandal involving the theft of $12.9 billion worth of coal.

In August 2022 the Constitutional Court cancelled Article 39, Section 1 of the constitution, which stated that "Prime Minister and no more than four members of the and the Government can hold the office of the member of the State Great Khural". At the opening of the 2022 spring extraordinary session, chairman of the State Great Khural, Gombojavyn Zandanshatar stated that "In this regard, it is believed that there is a need to discuss and resolve the issues related to the number of members of parliament, the competence of the executive branch, the control and balance of governance, and the development of parliamentary democracy by establishing a National Consensus Working Group and discussing and resolving the issue".

The State Great Khural passed a constitutional amendment on 2 June 2023, increasing the number of MPs from 76 to 126.[2]

Electoral system

Following the passing of a new electoral law, the elections will be held using mixed-member majoritarian representation, with 78 seats elected by the majoritarian system and 48 by closed list proportional representation with an electoral threshold of 4% for individual parties, 5% for a two-party coalition and 7% for coalitions of three or more parties.[3]
