The High National Electoral Commission (HNEC) says it has received a decision from the House of Representatives (HoR) approving a budget to cover the costs of upcoming parliamentary and presidential elections. In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Commission said Decision No. 3 of 2026 allocates 210 million Libyan dinars for the organisation of the polls, to be conducted under the supervision of the Presidency of the House of Representatives. HNEC welcomed the move, describing it as a “practical and serious step” that reflects the legislature’s commitment to supporting the democratic process. The Commission added that it is fully prepared to begin the technical and logistical preparations required for the elections, in line with existing legislation and international professional standards, with the aim of strengthening public confidence in the electoral process.
