How to Improve Lebanese Elections

January 24, 2012 · Mustapha Hamoui

Complex ideas like proportional representation and electoral reform, despite being so important, are difficult to explain to the general public. I’ve tried once with a pizza and sushi metaphor, but even that was confusing to many.

To the rescue comes the Lebanese Civil Campaign for Electoral Reform (CCER). They have just put together a video that is both useful and fun, which explains how to make Lebanese elections more fair and representative. I highly suggest that you check it out and spread the word about it.
