The proposed Lebanese electoral law is quickly making its way forward in advance of the parliamentary elections scheduled to take place in June. The law would stipulate that the people of Lebanon can only vote for people from their own religious sect.
The proposal was approved during deliberations between the joint parliamentary committees on Tuesday [Feb. 19] and is ready to be put to the vote by the Parliament General Authority. Lebanon finds itself today at a crossroads in its modern political history that's set to shake up political alliances.
