Lebanon’s new electoral law ‘step forward, but not enough’

Law paves the way for new polls in May 2018 based on proportional representation and 15 districts.

Politicians in Lebanon have voted overwhelmingly to change the way they are elected.

The new electoral law will be based on proportional representation and 15 electoral districts, replacing the winner-takes-all system for the first time in the country’s history.

But women and young people fear they will be ignored under the new system.
