Electoral system

The 76 members of the State Great Khural were elected by plurality-at-large voting in multi-member constituencies. The electoral system was not decided until a new electoral law was passed on 22 December 2019. ^[3] The changes were expected to marginalise smaller parties, and also effectively removed the right of 150,000 Mongolian expatriates to vote, as they could not be registered in a specific constituency. ^{[3] [4]} The new electoral law also barred people found guilty of "corrupt practices" from standing in elections. ^[3] The proposal to re-introduce mixed proportional system ^[5] failed to garner enough support.

Women's right activists called for raising gender quota for nominations from 20% to 30% but they failed. ^[6] Until the 2024 elections, female MPs made up 17% (13 seats) in the parliament, the highest number since the first democratic elections in 1990. ^[7]

Parties and coalitions

606 candidates were officially registered by the General Election Commission of Mongolia for the election, of whom 121 were independents and 485 were from the following 13 political parties and 4 coalitions: ^{[8] [9]}

Multiple candidates were arrested during the election campaign. Among them, two were running on the governing MPP's ticket, three were candidates of the opposition DP and one was a candidate of the Keep Order! Constitution 19 Coalition. ^{[10] [11]}
