UNDP, various parliamentarians discuss electoral reform
The United Nations Development Program, in cooperation with some international bodies, chose to meet with representatives of some parliamentary blocs to draw lessons learned from the recent electoral process.
During the recent parliamentary elections and a few months before them, some voices were raised, calling for amendments to the law that the parliament did not consider.
Several loopholes were pointed out in the UNDP report, whether in restricting the role of the election monitoring body, spending, or electoral advertising.
Chief Technical Advisor at the UNDP Lebanese Elections Assistance Project Dan Radulescu told LBCI that the UNDP would continue supporting the reforms, working together with partners, electoral management bodies, and civil organizations.
Free Patriotic Movement parliament member Assaad Dargham said the most notable reforms needed are the mega centers, the magnetic card, and an electoral management body to limit spending.
Dargham also stressed the FPM's controversial proposal of assigning parliament seats to the diaspora.
The National Commission for Lebanese Women (NCLW), represented by Randa Abboud, confirmed its insistence and support for passing legislation related to women's quota or "else women won't reach political leadership positions."
Lebanese Forces parliament member George Okais mentioned that the mega centers are much needed, especially in the current socio-economic conditions.
"Mega centers limit political harassment on voters, especially in certain areas. Women, youth, and the diaspora should be represented," Okais added.
The political blocs recognize the need to understand some structural issues for a better representation that considers all cultural components and improves the elections.
Suppose it is almost impossible to find an electoral law that the Lebanese agree on. In that case, making improvements to the current law to avoid its loopholes is relatively easy.
