Creation
The High National Election Commission (HNEC) was involved in organising the 2012 Libyan parliamentary election after the 2011 civil war that overthrew Muammar Gaddafi.[1] The HNEC's chairman at the time was Nuri al-Abbar.[2] The aim of the election was to replace the National Transitional Council created during the civil war by a representative General National Congress (GNC).[2]
Leadership
From 2016[3] to early 2020, the HNEC Board members were Emad al-Shadly al-Sayah, Rabab Mohammed Halab, Abdelhakim al-Shaab Belkhair and Abubakr Ali Marda.[4]
Transitional institutions
HNEC continued organising elections during the Libyan Crisis (2011–present). It organised the 2014 Libyan Constitutional Assembly election[5][6][7] that elected a constituent assembly that wrote the 2017 draft Libyan constitution.[8] HNEC organised the 2014 Libyan parliamentary election that aimed to replace the GNC by a new parliament, the House of Representatives (HoR).[9][10]
