1960 Mongolian parliamentary election

Parliamentary elections were held in Mongolia on 19 June 1960.[1] At the time, the country was a one-party state under the rule of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party. The MPRP won 207 of the 267 seats, with the remaining 60 seats going to non-party candidates, who had been chosen by the MPRP due to their social status.[2] Voter turnout was reported to be 100%, with only 83 registered voters failing to cast a ballot.
