Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/. On December 24, Mongolian Parliament – State Great Khural approved the Law on Presidential Election as it has been decided to have separate pieces of legislations for Presidential, Parliamentarian and local khural elections instead of previous practice of a single and unified Election Law for all types of elections in order to better regulate them. 


As a regulation for preparations and organizations of Presidential elections, the law contains provisions on the use of election ink during elections, access to the voters' lists, filing complaints on issues or wrongdoings in the voters’ lists, manual recounts of all voted paper ballots at select polling places, installation of cameras to document voting process while avoiding to compromise the secrecy of the voters’ ballot. 


The law also states that person convicted on criminal charges and is serving prison sentences or person who is determined guilty of corrupt practices by a court are disqualified for being nominated as a candidate for the Presidential elections.
