Afghanistan to begin poll count 20.09.2005 Ballot boxes have been taken to provincial capitals across Afghanistan, where the counting will take place. Election officials estimate turnout at 50% - more than 20 points lower than in last year's presidential poll. A number of reasons for the drop are being given, such as that many voters said they did not want to vote for candidates they regarded as warlords. There was also evidence many people found the elections confusing. Results are expected next month. << | >> |
