Mongolia's Law on Deliberative Polling

The law originated in Ulanbataar's 2015 deliberative polling project and was first implemented in the process that produced Mongolia's constitutional amendments of 2019.

[2] The first deliberative poll in Mongolia took place in Ulaanbaatar in 2015 and asked participants to rate and rank fourteen infrastructure projects that could be included in the city's Action Plan.

[2] All fourteen infrastructure projects were included in the city's Action Plan and were prioritized according to their rank at the end of the deliberative polling process.

Notably, an Advisory Committee made up of eight neutral members (with backgrounds in research, the private sector, or NGOs) must oversee the entire process.

[4] The Deliberative Polling Advisory Committee created an agenda based on input from thousands of public meetings throughout Mongolia that proposed six potential constitutional amendments.

[2] Participants' answers to the deliberative poll suggested significant opinion shifts but consistent support for the most popular amendments.
