Electoral system

The 76 members of the State Great Khural are elected by two methods; 48 are elected from single-member constituencies and 28 from a nationwide constituency by proportional representation. In the single-member constituencies the winning candidate must receive at least 28% of the valid vote to be elected; if not, a by-election is held. In the 28-member seat a 5% electoral threshold is used. Voter turnout must be at least 50% in a constituency for the result to be valid.[2]
