Lebanon election: Major changes not expected as voting concludes

Voters in Lebanon crowded into polling stations with no electricity and little stationery, but what the voting centres lacked in amenities was made up for by a sense of hope. Voting closed on Sunday evening in a parliamentary election that was the first since Lebanon's economy began to spiral in late 2019, leading hundreds of thousands to protest in the streets against the country's rulers. Interior Minister Bassam Mawlawi said in a news conference that voter turnout was 41 percent, and with just a few polling stations still unaccounted for no major changes were expected. The turnout figure is lower than the 49 percent seen in 2018.
