Talk:2014 Libyan parliamentary election

Untitled
re , look, I have no doubt this is eventually going to be a full article, but for now it consists of a single line. That can very easily just be merged into elections in Libya. Why can't we create articles at a time when there is sufficient material for an article? As opposed to creating articles based on the expectation that there will one day be such material? I don't get it. --dab (𒁳) 08:20, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
 * As someone who regularly does this, let me try to explain: If it's certain that there will be material that should be at this place at a not-too-distant point in the future, creating the article right now makes it easier for people to add relevant information at the right place. I'm against merging. — Nightstallion 11:58, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Nightstallion, I agree with every word you said. There's no need to write something more, you already said everything. I'm strongly against merging. --Sundostund (talk) 09:20, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Turnout figure
The turnout figure of 630,000 seems to be incorrect. When I add up the figures at the Election Commission website, I get a total of 913,885. This figure consists of 567,150 "general" and 346,735 "woman." I'm not sure if these figures should be added together or not, but either way they don't produce 630,000. Intelligent Mr Toad (talk) 07:27, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I believe "woman" votes are those cast for the reserved seats for women, and they are therefore duplicate votes and should not be counted towards turnout. I agree with your total calculation of 567,150. However, this is only for the 69 constituency seats - perhaps more votes were cast in the proportional representation part of the election for the remaining 80 seats?
 * But anyway, the article is riddled with inconsistencies;
 * the number of registered voters (1,509,128 registered voters according to the IPU and the HNEC) is not in line with the claim that "Barely a third of Libya's 3.4m eligible voters had registered" - it's about 44%.
 * the 18% turnout figure is clearly wrong, as that would mean only 270,000 people had voted - the real figure appears to be 42% (if the 630,000 figure is correct) or 38% (if 567,150 is correct).
 * Number  5  7  08:46, 21 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for that. No wonder Libyan democracy is in trouble when they make their electoral system so absurdly complicated. Would you happen to know why Region 8 elects no List members and why Tripoli elects no constituency members? Intelligent Mr Toad (talk) 01:35, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't have a clue; when I wrote the electoral system section I was really struggling to see any logic behind it. I also noticed yesterday that the IPU (which I used as a reference) has since cut most of the information from their electoral system page on Libya, so perhaps even they can't work it out. Number   5  7  08:16, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * "Barely a third of Libya's 3.4m eligible voters had registered…" This refers to the Constitutional Assembly election, to give an indication that interest had waned before the Deputies election. AntiqueReader (talk) 14:24, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Ah, good point. That sentence should probably be removed or moved to the background section, as its inclusion in the Conduct section is a bit misleading... Number   5  7  14:36, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

Libya Herald figures
Apologies for posting 2012 instead of 2014 figures earlier. These are the correct final results as given by the Libya Herald, which is now back online. Since all candidates ran without party identification they're not very meaningful unless you have detailed knowledge. Intelligent Mr Toad (talk) 00:06, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

Election system
I don't think the description of the three-tier system as given here is correct, and neither of the footnotes given (8 and 9) actually describes the election system. The above figures show that 188 members were elected from either single or multiple-member constituencies. (The remaining 12 were presumably from the districts were no vote took place.) There's no mention of members elected from party lists. Intelligent Mr Toad (talk) 05:13, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

Annulled
Whats the precedence in dealing with annulled elections? User:Number 57Lihaas (talk) 20:51, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Previous precedence is that we just mention in the introduction and an aftermath section that the election results were annulled. The election still happened, so would still appear on the template and in lists of elections etc. Number   5  7  21:01, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually, reading this story, it's not clear if the results have actually been annulled. The opposition petition to the court was regarding the fact that the parliament was unconstitutional because it did not meet in the right city. Number   5  7  21:04, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
 * User:Number 57, hmmm, not sure what to say. But if the elected parliament is invalidated that would need a new election?Lihaas (talk) 03:54, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
 * We shall see. Parliament declared itself to be legal, and as far as it's concerned, will continue. Whether elections will be held or not is uncertain as yet AFAIK. Number   5  7  19:37, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Court has final writ in determining constitutional validity...although I don't think theres much writ held anywhere here. Anyways, weve got the update, we can further update later. On the calendar page I mentioned it as annulled.Lihaas (talk) 23:17, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
