Mashnouq Refers Electoral Commission Bylaws to Cabinet
Interior Minister Nouhad al-Mashnouq on Monday referred to the Council of Ministers the draft bylaws of the Electoral Supervisory Commission that will oversee the upcoming parliamentary elections.
As part of the ministry's preparations for the elections, Mashnouq also presided over a periodic meeting for senior ministry officials to “follow up on the preparations and give instructions,” the National News Agency said.
The country has not voted for a parliament since 2009, with the legislature instead twice extending its own mandate.
The next elections are scheduled for May 2018 and will be held under a complex electoral law based on the proportional representation system for the first time in Lebanon's history.
