Libya gears up for historic elections, Khaleej Times (2012)
This news article says Libyans will vote on Saturday 7 July for a constituent assembly, the first body elected since the ouster of dictator Muammar Gaddafi, tasked with steering the country through its critical transition. More than 2.7 million people, or around 80 per cent of the eligible electorate, has registered to take part in the landmark poll. More than 4,000 people sought to run as candidates. But the electoral commission only approved 2,501 independents and 1,206 party candidates after an intensive vetting process designed to keep out former regime remnants.
