@Mixu With Temijin the lines are kind of blurry. While he was elected Great Khan by the Kurultai of 1206 I'm not so sure they had a real choice. The mongol empire and its successor states (such as the Golden Horde) did however preserve the role of Kurultai, that all of the khans gathered to elect the great khan.
