Process and issues La'o Hamutuk is an independent, nonpartisan Timor-Leste civil society organization. We are engaging with the 2017 Parliamentary election to encourage candidates and parties to discuss the policies they will implement over the next five years, and to encourage citizens to vote for parties whose platforms they agree with. La'o Hamutuk is distributing a Tetum language poster (left) and brochure (right) suggesting things for voters to consider before they vote. You can download these or request copies from our office. La'o Hamutuk is providing briefings on fundamental issues facing Timor-Leste, to help put the election in context. The briefing is a version of this presentation, and will be in English, free of charge to observers, journalists, and others who would like to understand the challenges Timor-Leste faces in transitioning from petroleum-export-dependency to sustainable, equitable development. More than 50 people from 20 organizations came to the briefings on 13 and 18 July. If you're interested but couldn't make those, please email laohamutuk@gmail.com and we may schedule another. We have also produced a radio program (Tetum, 8 MB audio) highlighting some of the most important issues at stake, and another with thoughts from civil society and voters about the election (Tetum, 8 MB audio). | Prosesu no asuntu sira La'o Hamutuk nudár organizasaun sosiedade sivíl ida ne’ebé independente no naun partidáriu iha Timor-Leste.

We distributed a questionnaire asking each party's positions on key policy questions and will publish the responses as we receive them: The bottom part of this page links to important information related to the election, including a list of candidates on each party's Parliamentary slate and a schedule of campaign locations. The National Elections Commission has certified the following political parties to be on the ballot. | Ami distribui kestionáriu ida atu husu kona-ba partidu ida-idak nia pozisaun ba kestaun polítika xave sira no ami sei publika ninia rezultadu sira bainhira ami hetan ona sira nia resposta: Pájina ida ne’e nia rohan liga ba informasaun importante sira ne’ebé iha relasaun ho eleisaun, inklui lista kandidatu sira iha kadeira parlamentár nian no oráriu ba fatin kampaña sira.

La'o Hamutuk was the first to publish a list of the likely members of the new Parliament, less than two days after the polls closed. We calculated the number of seats each party will get in the next Parliament, at right. For each slate, we have listed the MPs (black), the next few names (blue) and struckthrough names of people who declined to take their seats. On 1 August the Jornal da Republica published the official election results (Portuguese) as certified by the Court of Appeals. On 3 August, La'o Hamutuk produced a report (Tetum) on our observations to help STAE and CNE for the next election. On 14 August, La'o Hamutuk wrote a letter to each newly elected Member of Parliament. The next day, Fundasaun Mahein wrote a blog New Political Opposition Should Be Active, Honest, And Informed (scroll down for English). | Rezultadu Hanesan ita hotu hatene, prosesu votasaun no kontajen la'o ho dame no demokrasia, no laiha insidente violénsia ka problema eleitorál.
