Line 129: ===Great Khural=== [[File:Great Khural 2020.svg\|left\|thumb\|300px\|The composition of the Great Khural as of the session beginning in May, 2020.<br />'''Majority Coalition parties''' (blue): 300 seats<br />'''Official Opposition parties''' (red): 122 seats<br />'''Allied Regional parties''' (gold): 94 seats<br />'''Other parties''': 75 seats]] The Great Khural, formally called the Great Khural of State in the Constitution, is the legislature of Alva. Consisting of 591 members elected to fixed 3 year terms, it is a unicameral legislature with members elected in various manners. ~~330~~295 members are elected first-past-the-post from single member electoral districts across the country. A further 72 are elected from multi-member districts that are coterminous with the 36 provinces, with two from each province. The remaining ~~189~~224 are elected by the membership of each of the 51 recognized tribes acting as a single electoral constituency, with the number of representatives a tribe can elect apportioned according to their number of members. The Constitution recognizes 47 tribes and allows the Great Khural to pass laws recognizing additional tribes. This means that any given citizen has up to three votes in elections for the Great Khural: one for their district, one for their province, and one for their tribe. As tribes control their membership according to their own law and most only allow membership based by descent, foreigners who gain citizenship in Alva often are not members of tribes. It is possible to be a member of more than one tribe, but the law requires that a citizen only be registered to vote in one tribe. Because of the fragmented nature of elections to the Great Khural, there are dozens of political parties active at the national level. In order to gain a majority, they band together in alliances and coalitions that often shift membership between and even during the course of legislative sessions. The current majority coalition in the Great Khural is the New Democrat Alliance, which holds 300 seats. The largest party in the New Democrat Alliance is Alva Democrats, which holds 104 seats. The current President of the Great Khural, who is the presiding officer of the body, is Tsakhiagiin Erdenebat, an Alva Democrat. Khan Bagabandi is also a member of the Alva Democrats.
