Training for Elections Begins in Central Tripoli
The workshop aimed at educating NGOs on the process of elections in Libya in session
In a workshop entitled, “Elections and Effective Citizens”, organised by the Libyan Society of Future and Strategic studies at the “Kabeer” hotel in central Tripoli, Libyan NGOs were given information about the electoral law and the election process so that they in turn can then go and pass on the same knowledge via similar workshops to their communities.
The workshop, whose purpose was to educate the NGOs on the subject, was attended by several NGOs from within Tripoli such as, Your voice for awareness and edification and The Libyan-Syrian friendship. Two NGOs from Surman and Mslatta, the Mslatta Observatory who will be observing the upcoming elections, were also in attendance.
The workshop started off by breaking up into several groups to discus the electoral law and to take notes of concerns and suggestions. The discussion led to a heated debate on dual-nationals, who have been deprived by the electoral law from running for elections. Other debated topics included campaign funding and polling stations.
