阿富汗总统大选各地投票率参差不齐。阿富汗官员说零星暴力活动导致全国23人死亡。喀布尔、坎大哈和其他主要城市都发生了袭击。还不清楚约1700万注册选民中有多少人进行了投票。
全国的投票站报告显示各地投票率参差不齐。选举工作者现在正在计票。估计需要48小时最初结果才能揭晓。在喀布尔和阿富汗北部，有些地方的投票点整天都很繁忙。对塔利班恐惧最强烈的南部和东部地区，报告显示投票率非常低。
联合国和阿富汗官员高度赞扬了选举和投票率。但是独立观察员表示现在说投票成功还为时尚早。
Voters in Afghanistan have cast ballots in the country’s high-stakes presidential election, in a poll that had an uneven turnout.Afghan officials said scattered violence killed at least 23 people across the country. Attacks were reported in Kabul, Kandahar and other major cities.It is not clear how many of the estimated 17 million registered voters participated.
Reports from polling stations around the country indicated pockets of both high and low participation. Election workers are now counting the votes, a process that could take 48 hours before initial results are known.In Kabul and in northern Afghanistan, polls stayed busy in some places throughout the day. In the south and east, where fears of Taliban attacks were strongest, there are reports of very low participation.
United Nations and Afghan officials have largely praised the balloting and the turnout. But independent observers say it is too early for an assessment of the poll’s success.
