Excerpt: The Honduran general election, 2009 was held in Honduras on November 29, 2009, including presidential, parliamentary and local elections. Voters went to the polls to elect: 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.

Amnesty International protested to the Honduran de facto government about the violation of habeas corpus on 28 and 29 November. One of the people who were dis
