Just 25.26 percent voted so far

It looks like low turnout across the board.

AFP's Aya Iskandarani reports that just 25.26 percent of registered voters have cast their vote so far.

ELECTION UPDATE: low voter turnout today at 25,26 % across Lebanon.

Hezbollah-controlled areas scored most voters at more than 30% with Sunni-majority cities like Tripoli only reaching 12% turnout by 3pm.

But Reuters' Timour Azhari notes that the list of registered voters may not be particularly representive of the number of Lebanese in the country and able to vote. Recent years have seen a huge surge in emigration.

On turnout figures in #Lebanon (3.9m registered voters):

Paper-based system prone to error. Many voter lists outdated (include dead people, emigres)

Emigration ⬆️ since 2018

= Turnout is likely higher than the official numbers but unclear how much

2009: 54%
2018: 50%
2022: ?

At 3pm, voter turnout stood at 25.26% in #Lebanon

In 2018, it was almost that at 2pm, and at 4 stood at 37.4%

Notable that a chunk of the abandoned north (ie Tripoli and Akkar, typically Hariri voters) had double the votes around the same time in 2018#انتخابات_لبنان_2022 pic.twitter.com/Qc9iSRz65X
