Libya’s long-delayed elections will be held under a new government “to ensure integrity of the electoral process”, according to new elections laws agreed between the High Council of State and the House of Representative in Morocco. Article 85 of the presidential election law further stipulates that neither the prime minister of this new government nor any of its members will be eligible to run for elections. Notably, the law also stipulates the candidates must not be dual citizens. The law also states that the presidential elections will be held in two round, regardless of the percentage of votes that candidates receive in the first round. The date of elections will be determined by the High Council of State and the House of Representative in coordination with HNEC, as per Article 23 of the law.
