Parliamentary Election Law 2017 (see page 18)

EU Election Observation Mission: Lebanon 2018

“Some provisions introduced by the new electoral law, such as the reserved seats for out-of-country voting (OCV), the geographical area of the single constituency for the OCV and the use of electronic magnetic voters’ cards, have not been implemented for these elections. If they are to be applied for future electoral processes, procedural clarification would be necessary.”

Comment

However, there is possibility that biometric ID cards will be used in the future elections.
