Libyan Parliament Approves Election Laws With 24-Month Timeline

Libya’s parliament has issued a package of laws and decisions covering the electoral process and the country’s political roadmap, setting out a new legal framework for presidential and parliamentary elections.

The measures provide for a 24-month timeline for the two votes. The available details do not specify when that period begins or give polling dates.

The package addresses both the rules governing the elections and the broader political roadmap under which they would take place.

Further details on the laws’ provisions and how the timetable will be implemented were not included in the announcement.
