Voter Registration Numbers from Lebanon

I'll trasnlate some facts from this article:

  • Total Registered Voters with the interior ministry: 3,007,927
  • By Muhafaza:
    1. Mount Lebanon: 738,431 (24.5%)
    2. North Lebanon: 690,083 (22.9%)
    3. South Lebanon: 670,121 (22.2%)
    4. Biqaa Valley: 488,663 (16.2%)
    5. Beirut: 420,629 (13.9%)
  • By Confession: Muslims 1,772,187 (58.92%) Christians: 1,130,055. I will try to get the numbers by sects, but here they are sorted in decreasing order:
    1. Sunni
    2. Shia
    3. Maronite
    4. Greek Orthodox
    5. Druze
    6. Greek Catholics
    7. Armenian Orthodox
    8. "Minorities"
    9. Alewites
    10. Armenian Catholics
    11. Protestants

My only source is the article online since I'm an expat myself. It mentioned that the regisration drive was closed on March 31.

The way municipal elections are set up, I can only vote for the city council of my ancestral town, and I've never lived there in my life! How can I know they're doing a good job or not? In any case, it's just a display of petty familial disputes. On the other hand, I lived in Beirut and have plenty to say about how it should be run. Pffft.
