NDI recently published the Institute’s Final Report on the June 7, 2009 Lebanese Parliamentary Election. The polls were held under a new electoral law agreed to in 2008 by all parties and were also the first in post-war Lebanon to be held in one day. To demonstrate international support for Lebanon’s democratic development and provide an impartial assessment of the electoral process, NDI deployed long-term observers, fielded two pre-election delegations during the campaign period and organized an election day observation mission.
