Citizens' Representatives Khural of the Capital City

1924–1992

In 1924, after the ratification of the 1924 Constitution and the subsequent establishment of the Mongolian People's Republic, a local governing body for the newly renamed capital, Ulaanbaatar, was established. The body had several name changes throughout the socialist period:^[3]

• City Khural (1924–1948)
• Ulaanbaatar city Laborers' Representatives Khural (1948–1962)
• Ulaanbaatar city People's Deputies Khural (1962–1989)
• Ulaanbaatar City People's Khural (1989–1992)

After the 1992 Constitution was ratified, the body was renamed the Citizens' Representatives Khural of the Capital City.^[4]

Since 1992

On 21 August 1992, the newly established unicameral legislature, the State Great Khural, issued Resolution No. 23 to take relevant measures for the implementation of the Law on Administrative and Territorial Units of Mongolia and their management. This resolution instructed the reorganization of the local khurals and the appointment of governors by September 1992.^[4] There was no specific law on the organization of local elections; however law on Administrative and Territorial Units and their management amended new chapters on management of administrative and territorial units (Chapter II), a management system (Chapter II, Article 7), and its establishment (Chapter II, Article 9) accordingly. The reorganization of local and capital-city khurals and the appointment of governors were completed on 10 and 20 September, without an election campaign. Community and public meetings were held across the 12 districts and 119 khoroos of the capital city. Each khoroo elected five delegates for its district. The number of nominated capital representatives was proportional to the population in each city district. Ultimately, 72 out of the total 137 nominations were elected to the new city council.^[4]

The first session of the 1st Ulaanbaatar City Council was convened on 23 September 1992.^[4]
