Here’s How The Lebanese Diaspora Can Vote For The Upcoming Elections

As Lebanon prepares for the upcoming 2022 parliamentary elections, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants has officially launched voter registration to all Lebanese expats giving them the (semi) right to actively participate in the country’s political scene.

Here’s a rundown of the full process:



1. When will registration take place?



Starting October 1, 2021 to November 20, 2021.



2. Who can register?



Non-residents who hold the Lebanese citizenship and were born before March 30, 2001.



3. How can you register?



You can register online through this

 link.

You may also register at the Lebanese Embassy or at your respective general consulates – depending where you are.



4. What do you need in order to register?



A Lebanese passport OR a Lebanese identity card OR an individual or family civil registry (إخراج قيد فردي أو عائلي).

You are also required to bring them with you ON THE DAY OF ELECTIONS IN ORDER TO CAST YOUR VOTE.




Local NGO Sawti has also made the registration process easier for you by compiling and highlighting all the important dates you should know before election day.


Please note that you can only register if you will not be in Lebanon at the time of the elections.
