ميقاتي دعا في ختام زيارته بلجيكا اللبنانيين المغتربين لتسجيل أسمائهم للمشاركة بالانتخابات

There should be a media blitz notifying all expatriates to register. You spent so much money advertising all over the world for the tourist season, for Jeeta as wonder of the world etc..which is a good thing but the gov't needs a media campaign if they serious.

Finally! I was hoping to get a free airline ticket for 2013... {cynism}. Let's hope it won't be the fawda in our local embassies.

nice!

Me, my dad and Mum and sister will be voting ...my brother is too young to vote..

gonna be interesting!

14 all the way

I called the embassy in Paris, they asked me to call the lebanese consulate.... but surprisingly, the consulate never answers the phone...

Niiiiiiice. Hope this happens. We will do everything to convince the exp. not to vote for the traditional politicians.

It is very difficult to register, because of the system and requirements in some consulates or Embassies is even harder, maybe on purpose to eliminate the numbers of voters.

I guess the Gulf monarchies (who paid 1 billion dollars in 2009) and the Iranian regime (who paid 250 million dollars in 2009) are not willing to pay for plane tickets for people to vote this time around. They have many other Arab countries to pay for votes like in Egypt and Tunisia. Foreign Money needs to banned in funding elections. In Lebanon, neither M14 or M8 represent the Lebanese people.

Well the issue will be for most expats that they dont have a "new" ikraj kayd (less than 5 years) and or a new i.d.

I called the embassy to register for voting and they told me you have to get it from lebabnon. Useless...

Will hopefully be voting here as well :)

The consulate is normally two rooms, the window to drop the pictures for the passport and the consular office, I am trying visualize how will people vote at the embassy or consulate? let's use the technology and vote online as I do not wish to wait in line for hours and hours to get to the window.

It is Lebanon's sad fate to have PMs who fits in one of three categories:
1. toul bala ghalleh
2. imbecile
3. crook and thief and filthy schemer
and a president who is a clueless ignorant nobody and a typical opportunist a la Libanaise

Excellent - Here Comes 300,000 Australian Lebanese Christian Votes !!!

If someone gets registered by his Lebanese father does he automaticly receive Lebanese citizenship ? And if so could he vote afterwards ?
