On the day of the election over 74 percent of some 1.6 million registered voters turned out at the polls with no major incidents reported. A 16-member international observer panel declared the elections largely free and fair. As a result of the newly introduced multi-member constituency system final results were delayed. But after preliminary results gave 47 seats to the MPRP and 27 to the DP the former declared victory. The DP accused the MPRP of rigging the elections and claimed that some MPRP supporters voted twice. Large-scale street protests turned violent: MPRP headquarters were set on fire at least five people were killed and hundreds injured. Prime Minister Bayar accused the DP of inciting the violence. On 1 July President Enkhbayar declared a four-day state of emergency in the capital allowing the police to use &#8220;necessary force to crack down on criminals&#8221;. The DP called for a re-vote in several districts.\u201d \u2013 MONGOLIA \u2013 ELECTIONS IN 2008 \u2013 ipu.org<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>Mongolia:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a
