This report reviews the conduct of the first elections for the Palestinian Legislative Council and President of the Palestinian National Authority which took place on 20 January 1996 in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. It is based on monitoring by a team of human rights and election experts from Al-Haq, Article 19 and the International Commission of Jurists. It examines the legal framework in which the elections were held and details the violations of law occurring during the three phases of the election process: the pre-election campaign period, election day, and the post-election phase of counting and declaring the results and hearing election appeals.
