    The Lebanese diaspora started casting their votes on May 6th and 8th in 48 countries around the world for the 2022 parliamentary elections.

    On Friday, Lebanese expats voting kicked off in the Arab countries and Iran, with the UAE scheduled on Sunday along with Australia, Europe, UAE, Africa, Canada, the United States, and Latin America.

    The voting in the UAE witnessed enthusiastic participation by the diaspora with some flying from other cities and managing to reach the polling center at night… with their luggage.
