Mongolia will hold its parliamentary election on 24 June. However, some Mongolians who are under isolation for observation of coronavirus symptoms will be unable to vote, emergency staff reported. According to the Law on the COVID-19 Pandemic, Mongolia will curb the constitutional rights of some people for protecting national security and public health. With an aim for preventing and mitigating any financial and economic risks, the pandemic law was approved by parliament and will be effective for just the duration of the crisis.
