Berri: Electoral Law Article on Voting Cards to be Amended
Speaker Nabih Berri has announced that Article 84 of the electoral law, which stipulates the use of magnetic voting cards, will be amended during Thursday's ongoing legislative session.
Authorities have failed to introduce the cards into this year's electoral process under the excuse of pressing deadlines and political disputes.
Voters will alternatively be allowed to use national identity cards and passports.
Thursday's amendment will likely suspend the article to prevent possible constitutional appeals against the results of the elections.
