answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>The Libyan General Election was held on 25 June, despite challenging security conditions. The UK provided significant support to help ensure that the Election took place, including providing over £500,000 for a joint UN-Libyan Electoral Assistance Programme. Around 630,000 Libyans cast their vote out of a total 1.5m registered voters. The full results are due to be announced shortly.</p><p> </p><p>Whilst the elections themselves passed off relatively peacefully, the recent escalation in violence risks undermining the process.
