Facts and Figures From Lebanese Embassies On Expected Diaspora Votes
January 23, 2012 · Mustapha Hamoui
Make sure you check this first-of-a-kind report published by Annahar today on the figures provided by 70 Lebanese embassies around the world on expected vote turnout, conditions for voting and requirements to run such elections.
I don’t think embassies are doing a great job communicating the importance of diaspora voting to those of us who live abroad. My embassy for instance reported “No interest in voting” among us, and I’m pretty sure it based that opinion on a single text message it sent to us: This one.
Because there’s a wide disbelief that this is actually going to happen, the Embassies should be much more aggressive in spreading the word.
