Iraqi Turnout 70%: Elections Declared Fair and Clean
Here’s the scoop:
More than 70% of Iraqi voters may have taken part in Thursday’s parliamentary election, Iraqi electoral officials have said.
Election commission spokesman Farid Ayar said first estimates show that between 10 and 11 million Iraqis cast their ballot.
Counting is under way after the landmark vote but results are not expected for at least two weeks.
International observers said the vote generally met international standards.
“The Independent Electoral Commission of Iraq is to be commended on the way it has performed its role under the difficult circumstances prevailing in Iraq,” Paul Dacey, spokesman for the International Mission for Iraqi Elections, said.
Excellent news, indeed…
