The Jezzine District (Arabic: قضاء جزين) is a district in the South Governorate of Lebanon. The capital is Jezzine.
75% of registered voters (59642) in the district are Christians. Of those, 60% are Maronite, 15% Greek Melkite Catholic, and the rest are minorities (Armenian Catholic, Orthodox, Evangelic, Protestants, etc...). The remaining 25% are almost exclusively Shiite Muslims, with 1085 and 567 registered Sunni and Druze voters, respectively.[1] This distinguishes the district from the rest of Southern Lebanon, which is approximately 90% Muslim.
