At 12h this afternoon the General Election Commission held another press conference to update the election results, reproduced on the news.mn website.
Three candidates came in second or third, respectively, but received less than the minimum required for election (28%, according to Art. 48.4 of the election law). That means, a run-off election for that seat will have to be held. According to Art 48.6,
re-polling referred to in Article 48.4 hereof shall involve candidates with the most votes and double the number of the contested mandate(s)
When there is a single seat that is not won because no one received more than 28% of the vote, we double this single seat (the “contested mandate” in 48.6) and thus conclude that the top two recipients in the voting will be involved in a run-off. [Thanks to Enkhbold Z for pointing me in the right direction on this issue.]

Pingback: Seat Distribution Based on June 30 Preliminary Results | Mongolia Today
Hi, I would like to be able to put constituency figures for this election my website, but I am finding the figures posted at the Election Commission website (http://www.gec.gov.mn/parliamentary_election/20) impossible to interpret. For example, I go to the first constituency, Архангай. (I can read Cyrillic, so that isn’t my problem.) I know this is a two-member seat and I know that Нямжав Батбаяр and Баярбаатар Болор were elected. But when I look at the results, I see that Батбаяр appears in two different places and that Болор doesn’t appear at all. I see a candidate Гончигдорж who polled more votes than Батбаяр but wasn’t elected. I see columns of figures that add up to over 200,000 votes, when there are only 54,000 voters in the seat. I see a list of тойрог (circles) down the left-hand margin and I don’t know what this refers to. Can someone explain this to me, either here or by email? Many thanks, Adam Carr.
You seem to referring to the 2008 results (http://www.gec.gov.mn/parliamentary_election/10) The Election Commission website does not fully show the figures for the 2012 election. On this page http://www.gec.gov.mn/parliamentary_election/20 there are no figures, only a table with titles and sub-titles. I think it is still under construction. But I am not sure whether what I see on the website is what you referred to. Some comments on what you mentioned: Гончигдорж was elected from Arkhangai in 2008. He was elected through the party-list system in 2012. 54.000 voters may have two votes because it is a two-member district. So the total number of votes will go over the number of votes but 200.000 sounds impossible. Odd. Тойрог means electoral districts. There are 26 electoral districts of the first past the post system. Arkhangai is the 1st, Bayan-Ulgii is the 2nd and etc.
Thanks for your reply. That would explain my confusion. Are there no constituency figures for 2012 yet available at the GEC website? Or anywhere else?
I couldn’t find any figures at the GEC website, too. Constituency figures were mentioned during a press conference where the GEC presented the final results. I hope that they will upload it soon.
