Mongolians go to the polls in parliamentary elections on Friday, with the ruling party widely expected to win despite deepening public anger over corruption and the state of the economy.

Voters across the vast, sparsely populated nation of 3.4 million will exercise their democratic rights to elect 126 members of the State Great Khural in a country surrounded by authoritarian powers China and Russia.
