Voter turnout reached 50% one hour before the polls closed, according to Kuwait's Transparency Association. Some 800,50 voters are eligible to vote for the 4 members of the National Assembly, who will represent the people in the new four-year National Assembly.
Some 204 candidates, including 13 women, are competing in 5 constituencies, each with 10 deputies, where the candidates who finish in the top ten in each constituency win membership of parliament. About a month ago, Kuwait set the sixth of June as a date for new parliamentary elections known as the Nation 2023.
