Accordingly, Article 8 of the new Mongolian election law declares that the system of representation for the State Great Hural shall be based on multi-member constituencies organized by the State Great Hural 70 days before polling day.

Legislation was passed specifically for the June 28 election that divided the country into 26 electoral districts - each of which was entitled to elect, according to its population, anywhere from two (2) to four (4) members amounting to a nationwide total of 76 members in the Hural.

With the addition of Article 35, Section 2 of the election law (which requires each voter to cast exactly as many votes for candidates as there are seats eligible for election in his district), the Mongolian system of representation in the June 28 elections amounted to a multi-member majoritarian system.
