Big turnout in Bahrain elections, Khaleej Times (2010)
This article is about the first round of Bahrain’s municipal and parliamentary elections which was largely peaceful on Saturday with the exception of a few isolated cases of disturbance. Out of 317,900 eligible voters, a large number of Bahrainis exercised their right of franchise. The second round will be held next Saturday in constituencies where no single candidate has emerged as clear winner. There were 139 parliamentary candidates in the run, including eight women, for 35 seats of the 40-member Lower House (five candidates returned unopposed).
