The supporters of the proportionate electoral law marched side by side. They roamed in Beirut’s downtown district all the way to Riadh al-Solh Square. The proportionate law is all that the protestors were calling for. They declared their rejection of the 1960 law and the “campaign” stressed on allowing the youths between 18 and 21 years old to vote; and allowing the Lebanese living abroad to vote in the country of their residence and enhancing women’s representation through a women’s quota; in addition to other basic reform actions.
