The Honduran general election, 2009 was held in Honduras on November 29, 2009, including presidential, parliamentary and local elections.〔http://www.adn.es/politica/20090529/NWS-0073-Autoridad-Honduras-noviembre-electoral-eleccion.html〕〔http://electionguide.org/country.php?ID=97〕 Voters went to the polls to elect: *A new President of Honduras to serve a four-year term starting January 27, 2010. *128 members to serve a four-year term in the National Congress. *Representatives in municipal (local) governments. The possibility of having a "fourth ballot box" (Spanish: ''cuarta urna'') at the 29 November election regarding the convocation of a National Constituent Assembly constituted a major element of the 2009 Honduran constitutional crisis. ==Campaigning== Preceding the planned November elections, the 2009 Honduran constitutional crisis (ouster of president Manuel Zelaya) occurred, bringing the legitimacy of the elections into doubt.〔〔〔〔 Campaigning by candidates took place, in principle for the three months prior to 29 November, in the context of the conflict between the ''de facto'' government, the ''de jure'' government, and resistance to the ''de facto'' government, mostly coordinated by the National Resistance Front against the coup d'état in Honduras. Nearly one month of this campaign period was covered by the Micheletti ''de facto'' government Decree PCM-M-016-2009, signed on 22 September 2009 and rescinded on 19 October 2009. The decree suspended five constitutional rights: personal liberty (Article 69), freedom of expression (Article 72), freedom of movement (Article 81), habeas corpus (Article 84) and freedom of association. Hundreds of candidates, including Presidential candidate Carlos H. Reyes, renounced their candidacy citing skepticism that the same military that overthrew the elected president could be trusted to run a free and fair election five months later.〔("Carta de renuncia de Carlos H.
