Libya has been ranked among the countries most vulnerable to electoral risks worldwide, according to the Election Vulnerability Index 2026–2027 issued by Kofi Annan Foundation, amid ongoing political divisions and continued delays in the country’s electoral process.
The index placed Libya eighth globally in terms of election-related digital risks, alongside countries such as Somalia, Russia, Ethiopia, and South Sudan.
Libya was also ranked 12th worldwide among countries most exposed to risks of violence and unrest linked to electoral processes.
The report identified political polarization, weak institutions, and the spread of disinformation on social media as the main factors increasing the fragility of Libya’s electoral environment and threatening the integrity of any future vote.
The ranking comes as Libya continues to search for a political consensus that could pave the way for long-awaited elections, while disputes persist over the constitutional framework and electoral laws governing the process.
