For Afghans, a further disconnect, The Washington Post (2010)

This article reports on the major issues in the preparations of the Afghan parliamentary election. Last week, the Independent Electoral Commission decided to close more than 1,000 polling stations, affecting 1.5 million Afghans in the southern and eastern provinces. Many experts believe that this will create further disengagement from the central government, as the people living in those regions will be left at the mercy of the Taliban. This decision will also deepen ethnic rivalries, forbidding large segments of the Pashtun population to participate in the elections.
