Lebanese in more than 40 countries will start voting in a national election on Sunday, with many set to back political newcomers after the worst crisis since Lebanon's 1975-90 civil war led to widespread poverty and prompted a wave of emigration.
Just under 200,000 Lebanese living overseas are eligible to participate in the parliamentary poll, the first since the 2019 financial collapse and port blast that killed more than 215 people and destroyed large parts of Beirut in August 2020.
