MongoliaMembership
As of April 1988, party membership was reported at 89,588, an
average of 1 in 11 of the adult population. According to the
Rules of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, "anyone of
the working people, acknowledging the Party Program and Rules,
actively participating in their implementation, working in a
party organization, and implementing all party resolutions, may
be a member of the party." Membership was open to males and
females at least eighteen years old, although those between
eighteen and twenty years could earn party membership only
through acquiring a good record as a Mongolian Revolutionary
Youth League member.
A candidate for party membership must be sponsored by a party
member who has held a full membership for three years. After
sponsorship, a candidate's acceptance into the party was
discussed by a general meeting of the appropriate party cell and
was considered resolved if at least two-thirds of those attending
approved. Conversely, expulsion from the party was decided by a
vote of at least two-thirds of party members present, but it was
effective only after confirmation by the appropriate party
committee at the next-highest level. Mongolian People's
Revolutionary Party membership increased by 16 percent during the
period 1981 to 1986.
