More Afghan poll sites to stay closed as security woes rise, Reuters (2010)

This article reports on the Independent Election Commission's reaction to the security issues in Afghanistan. This week, the Commission decided that more polling stations will not open (15% of all the stations). The September parliamentary elections will be crucial to test the country's stability, but threats from Taliban are rising. Last month, the IEC decided not to open 940 of the 6,900 polling stations due to security reasons in the most violent areas. After this week decisions, the total number of closed stations will be more than 1,000.
