Elections

Units are the smallest units in the data, and located units are those with coordinates. A year with several rows has several contests or votes; filter on them before you add up votes.

Notes

"Abroad" special type inferred using place names in NAME3, some of which are locations definitively outside Lebanon. The 2022 election publishes no polling-station coordinates, so 2022 stations are located by two routes recorded in geometry_type_b: reuse of a 2018 station coordinate where the station recurs, and fresh geocoding of the building name otherwise. Of 6,860 in-country units, 4,937 reuse a 2018 station and 556 are freshly geocoded to the building (80.1% station level); the remaining 1,367 fall back to a locality centroid (1,154 from 2018, 213 geocoded) because the source names the venue only generically, e.g. "the public school". Every in-country 2022 unit has a location; rows still marked Missing are out-of-country ("Abroad") voting, which has no location in Lebanon by construction.
