More than a million Libyans have registered to participate in the first national elections since Muammar Gaddafi's regime was toppled, a spokesman for the high election commission said on Thursday.
"There are now 1,167,999 registered voters," Ezzedine Shaaban told AFP.
The ruling National Transitional Council has pledged to hold elections for a 200-seat constituent assembly in June.
A total of 120 seats in the assembly are reserved for independent candidates, while the remaining 80 are open to political parties.
When elected, the assembly will appoint a committee of experts to write a draft constitution which will then be submitted to a national referendum.
Libya has around six million residents, among them 3.4 million potential voters, according to the election commission.
