The initial results of Sunday show the parties will once again be victorious.

The departure of former Prime Minister Saad Hariri is one of the most striking shifts in the election scene, leaving segments of the Sunni vote open to new contenders.

Hariri supporters missed polls, while in Beirut, some set up inflatable swimming pools to protest the boycott.

One of the primary issues facing the Interior Ministry in a country with only two daily hours of electricity was powering voting stations.

Despite government guarantees, multiple outages were recorded, and in some polling places, voters had to use their mobile phones' flashlights to find the slot in the ballot box.

There are 718 candidates for 128 seats in parliament, with seats divided among 11 groups.

Prior to the election date, Lebanese expatriates cast their votes on May 6 and 8 all around the world.
