Afghan Presidential Election

Afghans headed to the polls on September 28 to elect a new president, amid reports of attacks at polling stations. Some 72,000 security personnel were expected to secure polling centers across the country, which opened at 7 a.m. and were originally scheduled to close at 3 p.m., but the Independent Election Commission later extended voting by two hours until 5 p.m. More than 2,000 out of 7,000 polling stations will be closed due to the threat of militant violence
