Lebanon

Lebanon’s complex electoral structure was designed to achieve a balance in ensuring political representation for the country’s different religious groups. With the exception of the period during the 1974-1989 civil war, multi-party elections have been held regularly since the 1920s. The most recent parliamentary elections were held in June 2009 and local elections took place in May 2010.
