The United States of America, through its embassy in Libya, has welcomed the announcement by the High National Elections Commission (HNEC) of the opening of the voter registration process for the upcoming municipal council elections in 60 municipalities.

The embassy said on its X platform that the municipal elections represent a vital opportunity to demonstrate the viability of Libya's electoral infrastructure, a way to engage with the Libyan people on the issues most important to them, and a chance for local communities to elect their local leaders. 

“Successful municipal elections will serve as proof of Libya's ability to eventually hold national elections, and I encourage continued work toward reaching that goal”, it added.
