MP Bilal Abdallah suggested via his account on the “X” platform a preliminary vision for the necessary amendments to the election law, and this vision included a package of proposed reforms.
Abdallah focused on the importance of lowering the voting age to 18 years, allocating a quota for women at 30% (women’s quota), relying on closed lists, in addition to abolishing the preferential vote, adopting the principle of parity with proportionality and distributing electoral districts in a mixed system, and introducing the idea of alternate deputies.
He also called for the use of magnetic cards and electronic voting, the activation of strict and serious control over electoral spending, allowing members of the security forces to participate in voting, and facilitating expatriate voting in their countries of residence to elect the full number of deputies, i.e., 128 deputies.
The initiative of MP Bilal Abdallah falls within a continuous political and parliamentary dialogue on the parliamentary election law, with the upcoming elections approaching, and amid increasing demands from various parliamentary blocs and political forces to make fundamental amendments to the current law.
