GEC Secretary Ch.Sodnomtseren said electoral district officials should have the power and authority to collect the evidence to impose penalties for misconduct. The Constitutional Court has given courts the power to decide election disputes, instead of electoral districts, but this will take a long time, and the meeting favored an amendment in the interest of prompt settlement of disputes.
There should also be clarity on who is the final authority to decide on disputes of a criminal nature, the GEC or a criminal court. The GEC has sent these and other suggestions to Parliament which will pass a new law.
