PUBLIC POLL DRAFT RESOLUTION PRESENTED

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ M.Enkhbold and S.Byambatsogt submitted Wednesday to the Speaker a draft resolution on Organizing a Public Poll. The law on parliamentary election, adopted in 2011, indicates that 76 sits are elected as 48 by majority and 48 by proportional systems, "this must be changed, as all political parties consider although they adhere to contradicting to each principles", said M.Enkhbold and stressed that the sustainable and long-term election system needs to be established on a basis of the public poll results. "The people’s decision is always the best," he noted. The draft resolution has been prepared on the basis of 11.1 and 12.2 clauses of the law on Public Poll. If adopted, many effective outcomes are expected such as the sustainable election system, an improvement of nation's trust in political parties and state authorities, an establishment of a new political culture in which pressing issues are solved through public polls, a reduction in politicizing and extreme preferences over one party’s interests, and more time to settle country’s vital matters rather than to deal with electoral disputes, Enkhbold MP explained.
