2024–2025 Libyan local elections

Last updated

Local elections were held in Libya in 2024 and 2025, organised by the High National Elections Commission in three phases. [1] [2]

Contents

First phase

The first phase of the elections was held on 16 November 2024. [1]

Second phase

On 4 August 2025, the second phase of voting, expected to be for 51 municipalities, was planned for 16 August. Sixty of the candidates for individual seats and four electoral lists were excluded (as of 4 August) from the second phase due to not satisfying an endorsement requirement. [3] On 16 August, the number of scheduled municipalities was 63, but elections were held in only 26, due to physical attacks against election offices. [4]

On 18 October, voting in 16 more municipalities took place, with another round scheduled for 20 October. [5]

Third phase

The third phase of voting began in early November 2025. [2]
