The Justice Union Group chief N.Battsereg and deputy chief Z.Bayanselenge have provided information about yesterday’s regular meeting (15^th June 2015). The discussions of this meeting were about the General Electoral Law, and Additional Changes to the Constitution. The Justice Union Group approved the Additional Changes to the Constitution draft amendments; but, they stated that they would prefer wider scale observation to take place prior to approving further changes.

Regarding the General Electoral Law, the Justice Union Group proposed selecting 38 members via majority election, and 38 members via the Political Group Lists of the 76 Parliamentary Members. But, the public should select the individual 38 members from the Group Lists by filling in the voting slips, instead of the current situation whereby the heads of the groups select the members behind closed doors.

The chief of the Justice Union Group, N.Battsereg said – We think that, the change to the law is going very well in organizing electoral campaigns.  In the past it was possible for the media to praise someone to the skies or soiling another’s good name.  This was an important topic in the past, especially as many TV’s and newspapers were being controlled by political groups. That is why we and working team agreed in the changes to broadcast commercial-programs equally on TV.   Also, this is the proper thing to advertise on street advertisements;   promotional material must be circulated equally. In other words, things must be separated from wealth.
