Young Libyans gear up for their first ever election
Young Libyans have mobilized for Saturday's municipal elections, the first time many will vote in the fractured North
Young Libyans have mobilized for Saturday's municipal elections, the first time many will vote in the fractured North African country where polls have been rare since Moamer Kadhafi's 2011 overthrow. Although being held in fewer than half of the country's municipalities --58 out of 142 – it is the first election in a decade to be held simultaneously in both eastern and western Libya. Nearly 190,000 people are registered to vote in the areas where polling will take place.
