## Lebanon presidential elections
### 2025

On January 9, 2025, Sanders received a single protest vote from an MP in the Lebanese presidential election. Sanders is ineligible to serve as the President of Lebanon since he is neither a Lebanese citizen, nor is he a Maronite Christian as required by the Lebanese Constitution. The vote was excluded from the official final tally for being invalid.
