[[Mongolia]] elects its [[head of state]]—the [[President of Mongolia]]—at the national level. The president is elected for a six-year term by the people, using the [[Two-round system]]. The [[State Great Khural]] (''Ullsyn Ikh Khural'', ''State Great Assembly'') has 126 members (reform in 2023), originally elected for a four-year term from single-seat [[constituency|constituencies]]. Due to the voting system, Mongolia experienced extreme shifts in the composition of the parliament after the 1996, 2000, and 2004 elections, so it has changed to a system in which some seats are filled on the basis of votes for local candidates, and some on the basis of nationwide party preference totals. Beginning in 2008, local candidates were elected from 26 electoral districts. Beginning with the 2012 elections, a [[Parallel voting|parallel system]] was enacted, combining a district part and a nationwide proportional part. 48 seats are chosen at the local level in 26 districts with 1-3 seats using [[Plurality-at-large voting]]. 28 seats are chosen from nationwide [[Closed list|closed]] [[Party-list proportional representation|party lists]] using the [[Largest remainder method]]. In the district seats, a candidate is required to get at least 28% of the vote cast in a district to be elected. If there are seats that are not filled due to this threshold, a runoff election is held in the respective district with twice the number of representatives as there are seats to be filled, between the top vote-getters of the first round.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.infomongolia.com/ct/ci/4481 |title=The names of the 72 candidates received seats in the Parliament of Mongolia |publisher=InfoMongolia.com |date=July 6, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120708200627/http://www.infomongolia.com/ct/ci/4481 |archive-date=2012-07-08 }}</ref><ref name=mongolia>{{cite book|title=LAW ON THE ELECTION OF THE STATE GREAT HURAL OF MONGOLIA<br /> PROCEDURE FOR OBSERVATION AND REPORTING ON THE ELECTION OF THE STATE GREAT HURAL OF MONGOLIA|url=http://www.gec.gov.mn/uploads/page/41ebe18c30810d33b063cad8fac38c1c.pdf|date=2012|access-date=3 December 2014}}</ref> Mongolia also holds local elections in October of the same year, with 8031 seats across 2395 constituencies in all 9 districts, 21 provinces, and 331 sums (county) and Citizen Representative Khural (local governing councils) in [[Winner-take-all system|Majoritarian system]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.montsame.mn/en/read/353715 |title=Ruling Mongolian People's Party Wins Majority in Local Elections  |publisher=InfoMongolia.com |date=October 15, 2024 }}</ref>
