Mongolians go to the polls

RadioAustralia reports that,

Polling stations in Mongolia have just closed in crucial parliamentary elections.

A total of 356 candidates, including 28 incumbent members of parliament, are fighting for 76 seats in the Great Hural.

The two major parties, the Democrats and the Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Party have each promised large payouts to the general public if they win the election.

At the last election in 2004 the two parties nearly split the vote and were forced into a fragile coalition that produced three different prime ministers.
