Runoff Draws More Voters Than Estimated
From Times Wire Reports
At least 1 million Haitians voted in last week’s election runoff to choose a new parliament, double the initial estimate given by some international observers, U.N. officials said.
An official count showed that at least 30% of Haiti’s 3.5 million registered voters participated in Friday’s balloting, said David Wimhurst, a spokesman for the U.N. peacekeeping mission, citing data from Haiti’s Provisional Electoral Council.
Final results are expected as early as today.
