Background

UNDP Lebanese Electoral Assistance and Parliament Support Project (LEAPS) has the main objective to promote democracy and human rights in Lebanon through the conduct of transparent, free and inclusive national and local elections, technical assistance to legal framework reforms and parliamentary processes as well as an important crosscutting component focused on electoral reforms and innovations, political participation and gender equality. Through a multi-component approach, the project has the intended outcomes of providing technical assistance and support in the following key electoral areas: 1) support to the electoral management and administration, 2) support to the campaign supervision and electoral monitoring, 3) enhanced electoral dispute resolution process, 4) promoting the adoption of key electoral reforms leading to enhanced participation, inclusion, and transparency, and 5) institutional support to the parliament.

The 2026 parliamentary elections will mark the conclusion of the current Parliament’s term and represent a pivotal moment for Lebanon’s democratic trajectory. These elections carry particular significance for the country’s democratic practices, offering an opportunity to advance electoral integrity and governance reforms.

The Supervisory Commission for Elections (SCE) in Lebanon primarily focuses on monitoring electoral campaigns to ensure fairness and transparency. It observes candidates’ campaign activities, oversees media coverage to guarantee equal access and prevent bias, and monitors campaign spending to ensure compliance with legal limits. Through this monitoring role, the SCE helps detect violations of electoral laws and reports them to the relevant authorities, contributing to the integrity of the electoral process.

Within this context, the UNDP LEAPS will support the SCE in recruiting an Office Clerk to provide routine clerical and administrative execution support during the electoral cycle. The Office Clerk will support routine office functions, including assisting with scheduling and basic meeting arrangements, preparing and handling documents, supporting event logistics, maintaining filing and archiving systems, monitoring office supplies, and carrying out data entry and clerical reporting tasks as needed.
