^Altankhuyag, Bat-Orgil; Smith, Marissa J. (16 April 2021). "The Constitutional Court and Gridlock in Mongolian Democracy". The University of British Columbia. The Constitutional Court has ruled that some provisions of the Law on Presidential Elections are unconstitutional (specifically, those stipulating that any citizen who has reached age 50, resided in Mongolia for five years, and has registered as a candidate may stand for election), thus aligning the Law on Presidential Elections and the 2019/2020 Constitutional amendments. This is widely recognized as a ruling that President Battulga and other previous Presidents may not run for reelection.
