The Embassy of Lebanon – Canberra, together with the Consulate General of Lebanon – Sydney and the Consulate General of Lebanon – Melbourne, has issued an important announcement for Lebanese citizens residing in Australia regarding the correction of the preliminary electoral lists for the 2026 elections.

Lebanese citizens who have registered to vote are strongly encouraged to review their details on the official preliminary electoral lists published by the Ministry of Interior and Municipalities. This review process allows voters to confirm that their personal information is accurate and complete, ensuring their eligibility to participate in the upcoming elections.

The preliminary electoral lists can be accessed online via the Ministry’s official portal:

Deadline for Corrections

Any citizen who identifies an issue—such as an error in their name, missing details, or incorrect inclusion or deletion—must submit a correction request no later than 20 February 2026.

How to Submit a Correction

The correction process involves two key steps:

1. Complete the relevant correction form
   Citizens must download and complete the appropriate form based on the type of correction required. These forms are available through the electoral lists link above and are specifically designed for Lebanese citizens residing outside Lebanon.
2. Submit the application to the relevant Lebanese mission
   Completed forms must be submitted via email to the Lebanese mission responsible for the applicant’s place of residence, along with all required supporting documents:
   • Canberra and surrounding regions, including Queensland, Tasmania, the Northern Territory, South Australia, Western Australia, and New Zealand:
     [email protected]
   • Sydney and surrounding regions:
     [email protected]
   • Melbourne and surrounding regions:
     [email protected]

For Lebanese Citizens in Lebanon

Lebanese expatriates who happen to be residing in Lebanon during the correction period may submit their applications directly to the relevant registration committee, following the same procedures applicable to residents within Lebanon.

A Vital Civic Responsibility

Lebanese diplomatic missions in Australia emphasise that reviewing and correcting electoral information is a crucial civic responsibility. Accurate electoral lists are essential to safeguarding the democratic process and ensuring that every eligible citizen can exercise their right to vote in the 2026 Lebanese elections.

Citizens are encouraged not to delay and to complete their checks well before the deadline to avoid any last-minute issues.
