There was a lot of enthusiasm on display early on June 24 as the polls opened.
Expressions of enthusiasm built in part on the very active өглөө campaign that had been part of a bring-out-the-youth-vote effort.
The general aim to mobilize young voters was paired with a resurgent fashion interest in the deel that also ended up being much in evidence online.
Below is a gallery of some of my favourite posts from the day. I note that for some of these the origin of the photo and thus the identity of original photographers is unclar.
Залуу хос хуримын дурсамжаа төрийн сонгуулиараа тамгалав. Энэ бол төрөө ихэд хүндэлж дээдэлдэг ард түмэн гэдгийн баталгаа. Энэ хүндлэлийг бүү луйвардаасай!

Саналаа #Өглөө
90 хүрсэн, хэвтэрт байдаг эмээ минь зорин очиж өгч байхад эрүүл, залуу хүн та өөрийнхөө төлөө, үр хүүхдийнхээ ирээдүйн төлөө, илүү гэгээлэг, илүү шударга, илүү боломжтой нийгмийн төлөө саналаа заавал өгөөрэй!#uglooo #дээлтэйсаналааөглөө pic.twitter.com/XAc9TvEdu6

Common sight on election day: older Mongolians dressing formally, including wearing their medals!
But here, example of a younger deel-wearer as well!
