صوت اللبنانيون في الخارج للمرة الأولى في الانتخابات النيابية أمس (الجمعة)، في 6 دول عربية (السعودية والإمارات ومصر والكويت وقطر وسلطنة عمان). ويقترع اللبنانيون في 33 دولة غربية غدا (الأحد). فيما يصوت اللبنانيون في الداخل في 6 مايو القادم لاختيار 128 نائباً يمثلونهم في البرلمان الجديد.

يذكر أنها المرة الأولى بتاريخ لبنان التي يُسمح فيها للمقيمين خارج البلاد بالتصويت، كما أنها المرة الأولى التي يتم فيها احتساب الأصوات على مبدأ «النسبية» وليس «الأكثرية».


ويجري لبنان الانتخابات البرلمانية الأولى منذ 9 سنوات، وفق قانون انتخاب جديد يعتمد اللوائح المغلقة والنظام النسبي بعد اتباع النظام الأكثري منذ عقود. وبحسب القانون، من المقرر أن تخصص في الانتخابات البرلمانية في 2022، 6 مقاعد للمغتربين.

وسجل 82900 لبناني في 39 دولة أسماءهم للمشاركة في الانتخابات من أكثر من مليون يحملون الجنسية اللبنانية ويحق لثلثيهم الانتخاب، علماً أن عدد اللبنانيين من أصول لبنانية في الخارج يتراوح بين 8 و12 مليوناً.
